Before you book
Speakers in Sydney: common questions
What should I budget for a speaker in Sydney?
Half of the 15 speakers here that list a guide price sit between $400 and $1,500, and the figure in the middle is $500. Treat that as a starting point, not a quote. Your date, the hours you need and the size of the line-up move it, so ask each act to price your actual night.
Can I see a speaker perform before I book?
Yes, for 38 of them. Their pages have a performance video you can play, which tells you more about how they sound and look in a room than any description can.
Will a Sydney speaker travel to a regional venue?
Many will. 33 of the speakers listed here say how far they go, and 23 of those cover 200 km or more. Mention the venue when you enquire, because travel and accommodation usually get added to the quote.
What happens once I send an enquiry?
Each act you picked replies with a written quote for your date. Put them side by side, check what each one includes, then decide. Enquiring costs nothing and you are not committed to anyone.
