Journey Speakers Bureau – Frequently Asked Questions
At Journey Speakers Bureau, we believe great events start with the right message, and the right messenger. That’s why we represent some of the most inspiring, insightful, and trusted speakers across the country. Whether you’re planning a leadership summit, corporate retreat, school assembly, or conference keynote, we help you book speakers who deliver more than a talk, they deliver transformation. Below are answers to the most common questions we hear from event planners like you.
1. What exactly does Journey Speakers Bureau do?
We connect organizations with curated keynote and motivational speakers, handling everything from introduction and booking to follow-through for a seamless experience.
2. What services does Journey Speakers Bureau provide for planners?
We assist with speaker selection, contract negotiation, logistics, and even promotion. Our team ensures a smooth process from idea to standing ovation.
3. How are your partner speakers selected?
We vet speakers based on their expertise, relevance, and track record. Our speakers meet high standards for content, delivery, and professionalism.
4. Do your speakers work exclusively with you?
Some do, many don’t. Whether our speakers are exclusive partners or work with multiple bureaus, we always secure their time and message for your event.
5. Why work with a speakers bureau instead of reaching out directly?
We streamline the planning process. We offer access, serve as advocates, manage complexity, and ensure you’re supported every step of the way.
6. Do speakers risk getting double-booked?
We protect your event date. If a conflict arises, we manage solutions, often offering comparable talent, and communicate clearly throughout.
7. What types of events do you support?
We serve everything from large-scale conferences to intimate retreats, across sectors such as corporate, education, healthcare, and associations.
8. Can speakers deliver keynote presentations virtually?
Yes. Many of our speakers, including those on leadership, resilience, or motivation, are experienced in both in-person and virtual formats with strong engagement regardless of platform.
9. How does pricing work?
Fees vary based on the speaker’s profile, talk length, and customization. Rest assured, our quotes are transparent and always include your bureau support fees in the speaker’s rate.
10. How far in advance should I book?
We recommend 3 to 6 months, but we often help with expedited bookings when needed. The more notice we have, the easier it is to secure your top choice.
11. What if a booked speaker has an emergency?
We build in contingency plans. If a speaker becomes unavailable, we work with you to find a suitable replacement quickly, minimizing disruption.
12. Can I request customized content or themes for the talk?
Absolutely. We encourage you to share your event’s objectives. We then collaborate with the speaker to tailor a keynote that’s both relevant and memorable.
13. How do I choose the best speaker for my needs?
Let’s start with three things: your audience, your event goals, and your format (keynote, workshop, panel). From there, we’ll match speakers whose expertise aligns with your vision.
14. How is the speaker’s travel and accommodation handled?
Logistics are handled by our team. We help coordinate all details, travel, lodging, meals, in line with your event budget and preferences.
15. Can I meet with the speaker before the event?
Yes. Most speakers do planning calls or video meetings to align on audience, tone, and goals for a seamless fit on the event day.
16. What happens after the keynote?
We offer post-event support, including debriefs, supplemental materials, and follow-on consulting, whenever it benefits your team.
