For
Organizations Requesting a Speaker
|
Q: I’ve
never booked a speaker before. Where do I begin?
A:
First step is to browse through our roster of speakers and topic categories
available. This will give you an ideal of what presentations we have
to offer. The next step is to complete the “Speaker Request” form
including information about your event. Once the form is submitted,
you will be contacted to confirm topic requirement and speaker availability.
If a speaker is available, you will be put in contact with that person
to manage through the remaining logistics. |
| |
Q: Is there
a charge for speakers?
A:
No. Our presentations are offered to the community at no cost.
Speaking engagements negotiated directly between your organization and
the speaker, without the services of the District 30 Speaker Bureau
management, may require compensation for the speaker. |
| |
Q: Once
I choose a speaker, what’s next?
A:
Once the speaker accepts the invitation, we will notify you of his or her
acceptance and contact information. You will then work directly with
the speaker to handle the logistics of your program. While we will
try our best to secure a speaker for your event, there will be occasions
where we may not be able to fill a request. In that event, we will
notify you immediately. |
| |
Q: What do I do
in the event of a problem?
A:
You will need to work through any event problems directly with your selected
speaker. In the event a replacement speaker is needed, your selected
speaker and the Speak Bureau Chair will work to try and accommodate you
if possible. |
| |
Q: Will I be able
to communicate directly with the speaker prior to my event?
A:
Our speakers are available to communicate with you directly after the selection
has been made. |
| |
Q: Can presentations
be audio or video taped?
A:
This varies. Please check directly with your selected speaker for
their consent. |
| |
Q: How much notice
do I need to give when requesting a speaker?
A:
The amount of notice needed to secure a speaker will vary depending on
speaker availability. Naturally, the more advance notice we have,
the better the chance we will have to secure a speaker. |
