Questions about booking a speaker?
To book a keynote or motivational speaker in Riyadh, send PepTalk your date, audience, format, goals and budget. We'll shortlist speakers, confirm availability and fees, and handle the contract, travel and logistics through to event day. Speakers can appear in person at large venues such as the Riyadh International Convention and Exhibition Center, a natural setting for business, policy and leadership conferences, or join virtually.
A keynote speaker in Riyadh typically costs £3,000 to £25,000+, or $5,000 to $50,000+. The speaker's profile, session length, format and travel determine where in that range a booking sits, and the best-known names are at the higher end. International speakers flying in to Riyadh for a policy or leadership conference will usually add travel to the total. PepTalk provides a clear quote once we know your date and format.
Yes. Travel and accommodation are usually quoted on top of a Riyadh speaker's fee. Saudi investment in the events industry has improved hospitality and logistics infrastructure quickly, which helps when speakers travel in, and a speaker based in or near Riyadh can reduce or remove these costs. Virtual sessions remove them altogether. PepTalk sets every one of these costs out upfront in the quote.
Yes, PepTalk can recommend speakers for your Riyadh event, matched to its theme, audience and budget from over 15,000 speakers.
