Why hire a local speaker? Two reasons: the best talent at the best price.

When a presenter lives near, or is traveling through, your event site, you’ve got a great opportunity to get an amazing speaker at a big discount.

Speakers love to be on stage, but — like everyone else — they hate to get on planes. A speaker who can drive 20 minutes from home and speak for your audience can do so at a greatly reduced price. Use the built-in message system to ask speakers about their local discount — you’ll be surprised.

You’ll also find speakers who will be traveling through Sydney on another speaking engagement. Talk to them about adding another day to their trip to speak to your audience, and let their first client cover the expense of the flights.
