frequently asked questions
Questions about booking a speaker?
You can book a motivational or keynote speaker in Vancouver by sending PepTalk your date, audience, format, goals and budget. From there we shortlist speakers, check availability and fees, and handle the contract, travel and logistics up to event day. Vancouver events run from waterfront convention centres to boutique event spaces, and we'll match the speaker to the setting. In-person and virtual sessions are both available.
Fees for a motivational speaker in Vancouver typically range from £3,000 to £25,000+, or $5,000 to $50,000+. The figure depends on the speaker's profile, how long they speak, the format and any travel to Canada's Pacific coast, with the best-known names sitting at the higher end. Once PepTalk has your date and format, we'll come back with a clear quote you can take to your budget holders.
Yes, travel and accommodation are usually quoted on top of a Vancouver speaker's fee. A speaker based in Vancouver or elsewhere in the region can reduce or remove those costs, and a virtual session removes them completely. With local experts across tech, film and sustainability, a Vancouver-based booking is often a realistic option. PepTalk sets out these costs upfront in the quote.
Yes. PepTalk can recommend speakers for your Vancouver event, matching them to your theme, audience and budget from a roster of over 15,000 speakers. Vancouver audiences span tech and startups, film, sustainability, healthcare, Indigenous culture and business innovation, and universities such as UBC and SFU add an academic audience too. Share your goals and we'll suggest speakers who'll land well with the people in the room.
