FAQ

How does a Speaker Bureau work?

The speaker bureaus are to help those who arrange meetings, conferences, workshops and special events, providing ideas and information on speakers for the attention of event organizers and decision makers.

In BCC we advise our clients so that we can guarantee the best result. We work with many speakers from the internationally renowned to the very individual specialists dealing with an enormous variety of topics, in BCC we help you to find the speaker who best fits your needs. The fees for such services are included in the speaker’s honorarium.

After the speaker has been selected and the invitation confirmed, BCC will then handle all paperwork ensuring that a legal contract is in place. Once the invitation is accepted by the speaker we prepare a contract that includes the details of the engagement. For further information about the process the BCC team can help you.

Can the client communicate directly with the speaker prior to the event?

We always prepare a general brief so that the speaker knows the details of the event. Also, our offices are available to have the meetings that may be necessary.

Alternatively we can coordinate a conference call so that the client has the opportunity to explain directly to the speaker the planning of the event and the details of the presentation and also for the speaker to clarify directly with the client any questions they may have.

Why not speak directly with the speaker?

The advantage in contacting BCC instead of calling directly the speaker – apart from the evident difficulty at the time of contacting a speaker- it is that we can advise you if that speaker is really the best option for your event, for the type of audience and to meet your expectations.

In any case BCC can offer similar options for you to choose the speaker who will fit best to your needs.
