Topics, sessions and talks
Business models break, new ones develop, technology evolves, regulations are revised and customers alter buying habits. Every industry is witnessing change, and Formula One is no different; as a multi-billion dollar sport, it has seen unprecedented change in the last 20 years. The number of events has grown, shifting from its heartland of Europe to a truly global calendar, which sees 65% of events in long-haul destinations. The media landscape is changing out of all recognition; gone are the audiences made up of families watching television together; instead, global sports are having to develop products to appeal to all ages and demographics across multiple digital media platforms.
Safety has become a top priority in Formula One, with significant changes in risk management over the past 25 years. From 1950 to 1994, over 40 drivers died at events; since then, only one fatality has occurred. This improvement is due to clear safety priorities set by the sport’s leadership, supported by teams and race promoters. Process safety and a data-driven approach to incidents have led to cars that can withstand high-energy impacts. The FIA also promotes road safety globally through its Action for Road Safety Campaign. Attendees will learn about these advancements from John Doe.
Mark offers insights from a Formula 1 insider, enriching your event with over 30 years of high-performance sport expertise. Benefit from his deep understanding of technology integration, team management, and commercial strategy, directly enhancing your team's or business's competitive edge and innovation capacity.

To book Mark Gallagher, email mark.gallagher@getapeptalk.com or call PepTalk on +44 20 3835 2929 (UK) or +1 737 888 5112 (US), and one of our speaker agents will contact you within hours to confirm Mark's availability and speaking fee. 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 about your audience.
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.
