If you want to be listed on out Bureau, please fill out the contact form and someone will get in touch with you as soon as practicable.
You will need the following to be listed.
- A decent quality head shot – Mandatory.
- A maximum of 500 words describing yourself and what you do – Mandatory.
- Up to 70 Characters, including your name and spaces, describing your speaking style and main topic(s) – Mandatory.
- A video of 1 minute maximum – desirable but not mandatory.
- If you do include a video, you should also include a still image to show at the end of the video. If you do not supply this, we will use the headshot provided.
- If you do not include a video, but wish to do so later there will be a £25.00 admin fee to add it to your page.
A Few conditions - None of the material supplied may contain any contact information, such as Phone No, Website or Social Media Information.
- Your expected fee should not be included in any materials.
- The word, character and time limits above are absolutes. In order to be fair to everyone, exceeding these limits will result in you not being added to this site.
- The Video you supply will be stored on my (James McGinty) Vimeo account. This is to facilitate embedding in the website in a way that stops random video suggestions at the end.
- We only list speakers that we have seen speaking. If we have not seen you speak, you should also send a link to an unedited video of at least 5 minutes duration. If you do not have a video, you may for a small fee (Currently £50.00) arrange a zoom call where someone will watch you speak live for 5 minutes. The fee is non refundable, but if you do not succeed in getting listed you will receive a free coaching session.
| What Makes Us Different This bureau is different from other speakers’ bureaux. It is designed for those who cannot command a large fee, or just aren’t well enough known to be listed by the larger bureaux. There is no fee to be listed on this bureau and no fees are charged to anyone wishing to book a speaker, consequently it is run on a rather casual basis and does not involve contracts. | Our Fees We take a 15% cut from the speaker, which covers overheads and time spent. This is payable by bank transfer once the speaker has been paid. Payment is done purely on trust. After the initial contact, which will contain a reminder about the commission, We do not chase payment. If nothing is received within 60 days of the speaker’s delivery date, barring exceptional circumstances, the speaker is removed from the listings. | How We Work The bureau works as follows. Bookers contact the bureau and request a particular speaker, or we select the one closest to their needs. We try our best to ascertain the fee but can’t always guarantee this. We put the speaker in direct contact with the booker and you agree a mutually acceptable fee and sign any required contracts directly with the booker. |
