Speakers who know your market

Work with keynote speakers who understand the local business landscape, cultural context, and audience expectations. Local insight makes every talk more relevant — and more memorable.

Content that connects

Local speakers bring real-world examples, familiar references, and stories your audience already relate to — driving deeper engagement and stronger retention.

Simpler planning, faster booking

Booking locally reduces travel complexity, lowers costs, and makes scheduling easier. Whether in-person or hybrid, it's less to coordinate and more time to focus on the event itself.

Once you've shortlisted, we'll confirm availability and fees, and you can arrange a chemistry call before deciding. From there, we handle contracts, logistics, and travel.

How do I contact the PepTalk team?

Whether you'd like to make a booking, need help with an event or anything else, we're here to help. Email us at hello@getapeptalk.com or send us a message via the chat. You can also call us on +44 20 3835 2929 (UK) or +1 737 888 5112 (US).

Help, I need a last-minute speaker for my event!

No problem! We often handle last-minute requests and can secure or replace a speaker, comedian, awards or event host quickly — almost anywhere in the world. However, speaker availability might be limited as the event date approaches. Email hello@getapeptalk.com with your requirements.

How far in advance should I book speakers for a conference?

Book conference speakers 6–12 months in advance. Top speakers fill their calendars fast, so the earlier you start, the better your chances of securing your first choice. PepTalk makes it easy to browse, check availability, and confirm speakers quickly — giving you more time to focus on the rest of your event.

Have all the speakers on the website previously worked with PepTalk?

Not necessarily. While the speakers listed on our website may not have worked with PepTalk in the past, they are recognized professionals in the industry and known to engage in similar events and engagements. Alongside direct talent, we work with a wide variety of speaker agents and talent agencies, to ensure we have the best selection of speakers, hosts, comedians and entertainers available.

Can I book a speaker who isn't listed on your site?

Yes. If they're not listed on the site, tell us their name and we'll take it from there. The PepTalk talent network extends well beyond what's publicly listed, so there's a good chance we can still book them.

What information should I share about my event when making a speaker inquiry?

If you can, please include your budget upfront – it helps us fast-track your request. It’s also helpful to know the date, format (virtual or in-person), location, and a bit about your audience. As speaker agents, PepTalk can secure the right talent for commercial and corporate events, conference keynotes, leadership talks, celebrity brand endorsements & partnerships, personal appearances, and motivational speaking engagements. We can assist with enquiries about this expert's speaking fees, availability, and booking process for private business functions, industry conferences, and team events. Please note, for media interviews, autographs, charity appearances, or personal matters, we recommend contacting talent directly.

What clients have you worked with in Germany?

PepTalk has booked speakers for German organisations and in Germany, including Mercedes AMG, Adidas, SMA Solar Technology, Citywire, Pasha Innovation, and SUSE.

How do you handle data and compliance?

PepTalk operates under UK GDPR, which the European Commission has confirmed as offering an equivalent level of protection to EU GDPR, so data can move freely between the UK and EU without extra transfer agreements. Client and speaker data is handled in line with data protection law throughout the booking process.

What makes PepTalk different from a traditional speaker agency?

We’re brief-led, flexible, and focused on finding the right person for the job. That means we’re not here to push the same shortlist every time. We combine platform discovery with hands-on curation, so clients get a faster, more tailored route to the right speaker.

Can you help with AI, leadership, change, and transformation speakers?

We work across practical business topics like AI, leadership, future of work, transformation, communication, resilience, and change, and we tailor recommendations to your audience, budget, and event goals. These are some of the most common themes we help with across the DACH region

Can you recommend speakers who are still actively doing the work?

Yes. We often work with speakers who are also operators, advisors, researchers, founders, athletes, or leaders in their field. That matters because audiences respond well to people with current, real-world experience — not just a polished stage story.

Do you only work with famous keynote speakers?

No. Sometimes the best speaker for your event is a well-known name. Sometimes it’s someone with deep expertise, a fresh point of view, and stronger relevance for your audience. We focus on who will create the most value in the room.

Can you help if we want a speaker our audience hasn’t seen before?

Yes — that’s one of the most common requests we get. We regularly help clients find fresh voices for annual events, repeat audiences, and teams who want a new perspective rather than the usual names.

Can I book podcast guests through PepTalk?

Yes. PepTalk books commercial podcast guests every week of the year. A high-profile voice can boost your podcast's reach and deliver ideas to your audience at scale. Fees typically range from £3,000 to £25,000+ in the UK, or $5,000 to $50,000+ in the US, depending on the expert. Our network includes bestselling authors, industry leaders, and cultural figures who have appeared on leading global podcasts, and many host their own. Whether you want bold insights, candid stories, or deep expertise, we'll help you find the right guest to strengthen your show.
