How much does it cost to book a keynote speaker in the UK?
Most UK keynote speakers charge between £2,000 and £25,000, and household names charge far more. Where a speaker sits depends on their profile, the event and what you need. Mark Agnew are based on a range of factors such as travel, format and audience members.
Travel
A local event costs less than one that needs a flight and an overnight stay.
Format
Virtual keynotes usually cost less than in-person ones, and they suit global teams.
Audience
