Antony Slumbers structures his sessions around a concept-led framework, introducing a central thesis — such as Space as a Service or Generative AI as a General Purpose Technology — and then mapping its practical implications for real estate professionals across customer behaviour, competitive dynamics, and business model transformation.
Antony Slumbers speaks on Space as a Service and on-demand real estate, generative AI as a general purpose technology in property, and emerging business models driven by data, networks, and changing customer expectations. He has worked in commercial real estate since 1995, launched the first commercial property website in the UK, co-founded the property management platform Vicinitee with Broadgate Estates, and advises clients including CBRE Global Investors and MSCI as a member of the ULI Europe Technology and Real Estate Council and the CREtech Leadership Board.
No. PepTalk adds no booking fee, so you pay the speaker's fee and nothing beyond it. The service, from shortlist through to contracts and event-day logistics, is included. For repeat or multi-event bookings, PepTalk can agree preferential rates with your procurement team.
Share your event date, audience, format, objectives and budget, and PepTalk sends a hand-picked shortlist within 24 hours. Each suggestion comes with a profile, a fee and a recommendation on the strongest fit. Once you choose, PepTalk handles contracts, travel and logistics through to event day.
The typical fee range is the speaker's standard in-person fee in their home market, shown in their local currency. It moves with format, location, date and session length: virtual sessions and shorter slots usually cost less, while international travel and peak dates cost more. Send your brief to PepTalk and the team will confirm the exact fee in your currency.
Not all of them, and it makes no difference to your booking. PepTalk's network of 15,000+ speakers covers talent the team works with directly alongside speakers represented by agents and agencies worldwide. PepTalk approaches the speaker, negotiates the fee and handles contracting either way.
Three to six months ahead is comfortable for most events, and 12 months is better for large conferences, peak-season dates or one specific in-demand speaker. Shorter timelines are workable, and PepTalk regularly fills last-minute and replacement bookings within days. Availability is the constraint, so get in touch as soon as you have a date.
