In most all cases expenses are in addition to the fee. International travel and presentations generally carry an incremental increase in cost. Some speakers will charge a base fee for 1 hour talks, which increases for half and full days. Others will charge the same whether it's an hour or all day seminar. The Washington Speakers Bureau has a dedicated, highly experienced staff of Event Coordinators who make travel plans and advise you of the arrangements, and who will work with you on logistics.
Speakers have their own sensitivities as to the recording of their intellectual property.
Your Washington Speakers Bureau representative can quickly advise you on specific speakers you have in mind.
