Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, I do speak for free several times a year. If your budget is tight and you're part of a non-profit organization, let's talk about how I can help.
Well, although you don't want a consultant's answer, I have to say, "It depends"! But this should help. My in-person keynote fees range from free to £10,000. In the case of a UK in-person event, or a virtual presentation (globally), there are no extra expenses. If you'd like to know exactly what my fee would be for your event, contact us for a quick conversation. Once we understand your parameters and requirements, we'll give you an immediate answer.
In addition to the presentation and networking with the audience, Andy will meet virtually with sponsoring executives and a sample of other key stakeholders to understand their perspectives as they relate to the topic, so as to maximise the value and specific relevance to your audience.
I'm delighted to spend time networking either side of my session, answering questions informally, and signing books. When possible, I like to hear some of the other speakers so I can make connections in my own presentation.
Yes. As well as keynotes, I can provide bulk deals on my books, parallel sessions, boardroom briefings, and ongoing advisory and consulting support for companies wanting to go deeper in applying the ideas we'll discuss.
