Frequently Asked Questions About Female Speakers

Our roster of female speakers spans virtually every industry and expertise area. We represent C-suite executives, entrepreneurs, authors, charity leaders and campaigners, politicians, technology leaders, diversity advocates, and motivational speakers.

Whether you need speakers for corporate events, academic conferences, women's leadership summits, or industry-specific gatherings, we have female speakers who can deliver compelling presentations tailored to your audience's needs.

There are multiple factors to consider when picking a speaker. The most important is always audience fit: will the speaker you select connect with your audience, tell them something new, and leave them feeling uplifted?
What that ‘new’ thing is will obviously vary. Our female speakers excel in various areas including leadership development, innovation, entrepreneurship, workplace diversity, work-life balance, technology, and industry-specific topics. We can work closely with you to understand your goals and recommend female speakers whose backgrounds, speaking styles, and messages align with their vision.
Unfortunately there is always one other issue to consider: budget. But don’t worry. Our unique approach of working with speakers at all stages of their career means we can usually find a brilliant speaker to fit your budget.
-
Our female speakers address a comprehensive range of topics relevant to today's business and social landscape.
We highlight their femaleness because we know that a lot of event organisers still struggle to achieve a good balance of male and female speakers on their agenda. But first and foremost our female speakers are experts in their fields, through experience or analysis. And they are great storytellers.
That means we can usually find a female speaker to address whatever topic is the focus of your event. That might be entrepreneurship, innovation in technology, strategy, financial literacy, motivation or work-life integration. They come from a whole range of fields like finance, healthcare, technology, education, and nonprofit work.
Many are also keen to address issues of women's leadership, breaking glass ceilings, and workplace equality, sharing personal stories of overcoming challenges, building successful careers, and creating positive change in their communities and industries.
-
Absolutely. Our female speakers have adapted seamlessly to the evolving event landscape and are highly experienced with virtual presentations, hybrid events, and traditional in-person speaking engagements. Many have invested in professional-grade audio-visual equipment and have refined their presentation techniques specifically for digital platforms. Our female speakers understand how to maintain audience engagement through screens, facilitate interactive virtual Q&A sessions, and deliver impactful messages regardless of the format. They're equally comfortable presenting to intimate boardroom settings or large-scale virtual conferences with thousands of attendees.
-
Speaker fees vary significantly based on factors such as the speaker's profile, experience level, travel requirements, event duration, and audience size.
Our female speakers range from emerging voices who are building their speaking careers to internationally recognised thought leaders.
Entry-level professional female speakers typically start from around £1200, while mid-tier speakers with established expertise command £2,000-£5,000. Our top-tier female speakers, including FTSE 100 executives and globally recognised experts, may charge anywhere from £5,000-£30,000, or more.
We work with various budgets and can recommend exceptional female speakers within your price range.
-
We recommend booking female speakers as early as possible, ideally 6-12 months in advance for major events. High-demand female speakers often have calendars that fill up quickly, especially during peak conference seasons (spring and autumn). However, we understand that sometimes events are planned on shorter timelines, and we maintain relationships with female speakers who may be available for last-minute bookings. Popular female speakers for women's conferences, corporate events, and industry summits are typically booked well in advance, so early planning ensures you have the widest selection of available speakers.
-
Yes, customisation is a hallmark of professional female speakers. Our speakers work closely with event organizers to understand the audience, event goals, company culture, and specific messaging requirements. They adapt their presentations to incorporate relevant industry examples, company-specific challenges, and audience-appropriate content. Many female speakers conduct pre-event calls with organisers to discuss key themes, preferred takeaways, and any sensitive topics to address or avoid. This personalised approach ensures that each presentation feels tailored and relevant rather than generic.
-
Our speaker bureau provides comprehensive support throughout the entire booking process. We handle contract negotiations, logistics coordination, travel arrangements, and technical requirements. Our team works as a liaison between you and the female speakers, ensuring clear communication about expectations, timelines, and deliverables. We also provide marketing materials, speaker bios, professional photos, and promotional content to help you market your event. Additionally, we offer guidance on event programming, speaker introductions, and post-event follow-up to maximise the impact of your chosen female speaker.
