Pricing factors

What sets the price

These eight factors are the dials every professional engagement is priced on.

  • 01

    Format

    Keynote, workshop, boardroom session or conference chair — each format carries its own pricing logic.

  • 02

    Duration

    45 minutes or a full day changes the picture, both on stage and in the preparation behind it.

  • 03

    Preparation & tailoring

    Sector-specific cases, live agent demos and stakeholder interviews all take prep time.

  • 04

    Location & travel

    Netherlands, Europe or intercontinental — travel time and accommodation vary for the organiser.

  • 05

    Language

    Dutch or British English is standard. Simultaneous interpretation or bilingual delivery on request.

  • 06

    Exclusivity

    Sector exclusivity for an agreed window prevents a competitor from booking the same speaker shortly after.

  • 07

    Timing

    Weekday business hours, evening, weekend or bank holiday — diary pressure differs.

  • 08

    Extras

    Panel, Q&A, aftermovie clip or books for the audience — as separate lines or part of a bundle.

Frequently asked questions about pricing

What does a conference chair cost?

+

Conference chairing sits above a single keynote, as Remy is present the whole day and actively bridges between speakers. Ask for a bespoke quote for a precise figure.

Are travel expenses included?

+

Within the Netherlands, travel and parking are included in the all-in fee. For engagements outside the NL, travel and accommodation are added at cost and agreed in advance.

What is the price difference between a keynote and a workshop?

+

A keynote is a plenary 45-60 min session. A workshop is more intensive (2-3 hours, smaller group, hands-on) and requires more preparation — hence a higher hourly rate than a keynote.

Do I get one transparent quote or separate line items?

+

One clear all-in quote, including preparation and travel within NL. Optional extras such as an aftermovie clip are shown separately, so you can choose.

Can we agree sector exclusivity?

+

Yes, sector exclusivity for a defined window is available and locked in writing ahead of the engagement.
