Testimonials

Todd Henry was a slam dunk. Everyone loved him. I had more positive comments about his presentation than I've ever had with any other speaker. In fact, all speakers combined. He set the tone perfectly. He spent a lot of time getting to know the group the night before and really nailed it!

HCA Healthcare

Everyone loved him! He gave a great speech with many people taking something of value away from the topics that he covered. I think his greatest strength was the fact that he brought concepts that everyone can learn from and take with them back to their jobs. I would definitely recommend him.

Noble Energy

Feedback has been extraordinary! In fact, to quote one of our guests, 'Todd's presentation was both mind blowing and life changing!' Wow!

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.

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.

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

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.

How far in advance should I book a speaker?

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.
