• Please contact Gwendolyn S. Bethea, scottoncommunications@gmail.com if you wish to contact speakers for speaking engagements.

• Determine your budget for the speaker, which should be coordinated with the director.

• Select an appropriate contract among our contract samples and adapt it according to your specifications.

• Secure signatures from the speaker and the agency/organization representative based upon the agreed upon details.

• Ensure that deadlines are clearly understood and are adhered to well in advance of the agreed upon engagement with sufficient turnaround time in case of unscheduled emergencies or occurrences.

The speaking engagement fees or expenses are based solely on the terms as specified and agreed upon in the contract.

Speakers will normally follow the client’s wishes regarding press attendance at an event. This should be handled before the scheduled event. Such an option should be discussed at the time of the initial agreement. The speakers are speaking solely for themselves and not on behalf of any organization or entity.

Cancellation shall be handled between the contractor, the speaker and the client. All cancellations should be made at least one week in advance unless in emergency situations (weather related, personal illness or injury, etc.)

All logistics, flight reservations, airline tickets, and local transportation are handled strictly between the speaker and the client.

Traditionally or through remote access.
