Every event budget has limits, but achieving a memorable conference requires high-impact keynotes. How can corporate event planners stretch their budgets without sacrificing speaker quality?

The answer lies in volume leverage.

Understanding the Power of Scale

BigSpeak books over $48M in annual speaker volume and represents top talent across 72% of Fortune 1000 events. Just as corporate procurement departments negotiate volume discounts with major vendors, BigSpeak uses its industry scale to advocate directly for clients.

When an individual organization approaches a marquee speaker for a one-off event, they receive the standard rack rate with strict terms. But when BigSpeak negotiates on your behalf, we leverage deep relationships built over 30+ years to secure:

• Preferred Speaker Rates: Favorable pricing structures across key note topics.
• Added Event Value: Securing executive roundtables, book signings, or meet-and-greets at no extra cost.
• Flexible Contract Terms: Extended hold windows and customized cancellation terms.

“Experts on the Experts” Data Matching

Stretching your budget isn’t just about negotiating lower fees; it’s about eliminating the financial risk of hiring the wrong speaker.

A speaker might have a polished online video, but how do they interact with a room of senior technology leaders or sales executives? BigSpeak uses proprietary data and real audience feedback—reflected in our 90 Net Promoter Score (NPS)—to ensure every recommended speaker delivers measurable results.

Maximizing ROI for Your Next Event

Your keynote speaker sets the tone for your entire conference. Partnering with BigSpeak gives you access to global thought leaders, preferred rate negotiations, and complete logistical backup—allowing you to deliver an unforgettable event on budget.
