Want me to speak at your event?
I’m currently very selective about the speaking engagements I accept. If you want me to speak at your event, I require all expenses to be covered (including accommodation, flights, ground transportation, and meals), plus a honorarium, determined on a case by case basis.
While I may waive my honorarium on very rare occasions, preparing and delivering an informative, engaging talk is hard work and I generally cannot afford to work for free. Expenses being covered is completely non-negotiable.
Some event organizers are under the impression that because remote conferences do not involve travel, it’s reasonable to ask speakers to do them for free. On the contrary, my fee is generally much less negotiable for remote events. I enjoy the in-person contact with the audience and find remote talks to be far less rewarding.
If all of the above doesn’t scare you, drop me a line!
