Open toolWhy we built these
The two questions we get most often are "what will a speaker cost?" and "what should the talk actually be about?" Both usually come up before anyone is ready to email a bureau. These tools let you answer them on your own, in a few minutes, for free.
The fee calculator uses the same ranges we walk through in our guide to speaker fees: experience level, event format, audience size, and engagement type. It gives you a realistic budget range, not a quote, so you can plan before you start conversations with speakers.
The topic generator is for the earlier stage, when you know your audience but not the angle. It suggests bookable talk ideas with hooks and takeaways. If you want inspiration first, our guide to motivational speaking topics covers what works for different audiences.
Neither tool locks you into anything. If the results are useful and you want a real shortlist, tell us about your event and we will send names within a day.
