Each of our presentations is preceded by a conversation with the client to ensure that we have a proper understanding of the audience, its composition, and its expectations. It will also be followed by another conversation with the client to debrief as to the presentation’s effectiveness in achieving the goals that were set for it, and to determine if any additional follow-up action would be appropriate.

The base rate for a keynote presentation is $2,500 plus expenses. This price covers three steps:

1. An advance discussion: This discussion helps us assess and adjust for fit and function, plus makes room for a minimal amount of time for customization (if extensive customization is desired it will be billed on a time and materials basis).
2. The presentation itself: The presentation is 75-90 minutes long, depending on topic.
3. A follow-up meeting: This meeting includes the presentation’s organizers and/or sponsors and helps them understand the observations and results of the presentation, the conclusions that can be drawn from those observations and results, and the recommendations that make sense based on those conclusions.
