WHAT IS A SPEAKER AGREEMENT?
A Speaker Agreement can be customized for a variety of uses. It can be used when…
- You’re speaking at an event
- You’ve hired someone else to speak at your event
- You’re hosting an event with someone else
In short, a Speaker Agreement is a contract (written agreement) you send to the person who… hired you to speak at their event, you’re hosting an event with, or you’ve hired to speak before the event occurs.
It sets out the terms of your agreement in writing so you’re able to try to enforce it, if/when needed. This Speaker Agreement template address issues like:
- Date and time of covered event
- Duration of presentation
- Materials used
- Contact protocols
- Payment terms
- What’s included in the speaking
- What’s not included in the speaking fee
- Cancellation policy
DO I NEED IT?
Do you want to make sure the company who hired you or the speaker you hired understand the terms of your speaking agreement? Do you want to be able to set the terms of your presentation so you get paid for your time or protect your business in case a speaker cancels at the last minute? Then yes!
A speaker agreement makes it super clear you can…
- Get paid by setting out payment terms
- Enforce your refund or cancellation policy, since it’s clearly spelled out in the agreement
- Protect yourself and your company with disclaimers and limitations on liability
- and so much more!
