Fees for an artificial intelligence speaker vary widely depending on several factors. The format matters; a 45-minute keynote would cost less than a half-day workshop or lengthy fireside chat. Location, travel requirements and how long you require the speaker on site considerably influence the cost of an AI speaker, along with whether the event is international or multi-day.
Typically, fees range from £2000 to £350,000, with the average sitting around £7575 per speaker, per event.
