Why should I choose The Right Selection Speakers Bureau?
There are several benefits for engaging us, here are a few:
We are the first boutique speakers bureau in the Middle East
We are constantly researching speakers and monitoring future trends so that we can provide you with up to date, creative and innovative ideas giving you an edge over your competition
The speakers are vetted – to ensure we provide you the right speaker that will positively impact your event
It is easier to negotiate fees through us as we are regularly engaging speakers to ensure preferred rates for you
We support you at each stage of the process, selecting, briefing and logistics.
What is the process for booking a speaker?
Make an enquiry and let us know as much as you can about the event you are planning: objectives, audience, budget, theme and the type of speaker you are looking for. We will then suggest speakers that are appropriate and within your budget.
Once you have short-listed your selection, we will then check the speakers availability. At this point you will decide which speaker to book and we will send you the contract to confirm your engagement.
On signing the contract you will receive an invoice for which 50% deposit of professional fees will be due immediately to block the date in the speakers calender. The balance 50% + travel cost needs to be paid 3 weeks prior to the event date.
Can I book speakers that are not listed on your website through you?
Yes, we can book most speakers for you. Our global reach connects us with thousands of speakers, and even if they are exclusively listed with other bureaus. Simply provide us with your speaker of choice and we will be delighted to book them for you.
How do you charge for your services?
Our charges are included in the speakers’ professional fee. We receive our commission from the speakers directly for securing the booking for them.
What else do I have to pay for apart from the speaker’s fee?
Standard expenses include (but are not limited to) return travel from the speaker’s origin to your event venue; first class for long haul travel, business class for short haul, airport transfers, accommodation where required and meals as appropriate for the speaker’s stay. If a Visa is required to travel to your event venue, the costs associated with obtaining this will also be chargeable to you.
What does the speaker fee include?
The professional fee covers the speech and Q&A. If you would like a speaker to attend a lunch or dinner around the speech, some will do so at no additional cost whilst others will charge, we can advise you on this.
If you would like the speaker to participate on a panel or talk to the media kindly advice us in advance, so we can secure the approval from the speaker and include the same in his schedule
If I book more than one speaker can I get a discount?
If you are booking more than one speaker for your event a discount is not a general practice as a speaker will not discount his or her professional fee because you are also booking someone else. We will of course endeavor to get the best rate for you and your speaker at all times.
However when you book the same speaker more than once, repeating the same content, most speakers will be open to offering a discounted professional fee.
Do you give us any help after we have booked our speaker with you?
Yes, it is really important to us to ensure that the speaker you have selected has been briefed properly. We will contact you before your event to provide you with all the materials you will need for your publicity: photos, updated speaker profile and the speaker’s technical requirements.
We will also provide you with an introduction for you to use at the event that has been approved by the speaker. We will in addition liaise with the speaker to arrange travel, accommodation etc, and where required obtain discounts for you on the author’s books.
How do I brief my speaker?
4 to 6 weeks before your event (sooner if you prefer) we will contact you and the speaker and arrange a mutually convenient time for a briefing call and organise a conference facility. Your Right Selection Speakers Bureau (RSSB) consultant will participate on the call with you to assist you and guide you in the briefing should you need assistance.
Occasionally clients and speakers prefer a face to face meeting and where possible these will be arranged by your RSSB consultant.
Can we record the speech?
You must request permission in advance to record part of or all of a speaker’s speech (via the bureau). Most speakers will allow a recording if it is for internal use provided they receive a copy for no additional charge, a few charge for this.
If you wish to make a recording for commercial reasons this can be arranged but the speaker will require a further payment. Some speakers will not allow a recording as their material has a copyright and for these speakers cameras must be turned off.
What happens if our booked speaker has to cancel because of an emergency?
In the unlikely event of a speaker being unable to attend, such as a sudden emergency or unforeseen circumstance, we will, where possible offer you an alternative speaker. If that speaker is not acceptable we will refund you payments already made for the speakers professional fees only.
This is a rare occurrence but it can happen and if you are marketing your event based on the speaker’s attendance we strongly recommend that you take out event insurance to cover all marketing and logistics costs budgeted by you
