Salman Khan is the Founder and CEO of Khan Academy, a nonprofit aimed at eliminating educational barriers for over 600 million children lacking basic skills in math and reading. His free curriculum has significantly impacted global education, with over a billion views of the academy's videos. Sal is now leveraging AI to enhance accessibility, introducing Khanmigo, an AI-powered tutor praised by The Washington Post as a leading model for the public good in AI. He discusses how technology can transform education through personalised learning in his talks.
Sal's influence in education has been recognised by major media outlets, including 60 Minutes and Forbes, and he was named one of TIME’s 100 Most Influential People. The Khan Academy began when he tutored his cousins and friends in math, leading to a growing demand and the establishment of the platform. Today, it serves over 62 million registered users in 190 countries, providing practice exercises, instructional videos, and personalised dashboards for self-paced learning.
With the rise of AI, Sal sees an opportunity to enhance education further. He believes this technology can elevate average students to exceptional levels and support below-average students in achieving above-average results. Khan Academy collaborates with institutions like NASA and MIT, positively impacting students at prestigious universities, particularly first-generation college attendees. In his book, "The One World Schoolhouse", Sal outlines his vision for education reform, advocating liberating teachers from rigid curriculums and promoting human interaction in classrooms. This philosophy underpins Khan Lab School, an independent extension of Khan Academy that emphasises collaborative, project-based learning for mixed-age groups.
Sal holds three MIT degrees and an MBA from Harvard Business School. While at MIT, he taught MCAT prep courses and was named Teacher of the Year by a national test preparation company.

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.
