FAQs
- How far in advance should I request a speaker?
The earlier you submit your booking questionnaire, the better chance we can fulfill your request.

Presentations usually run 60-90 minutes but can vary based on event setup.
- Do you accommodate virtual presentations?
We do! Make sure to specify your event format on the booking questionnaire.
