Thanks for trusting us for your speaker and related talent booking needs. As the owner of Promenade Speakers (Mike Taubleb), I’ll play a primary role supporting you through completion of your event.

My role includes:

• Contract drafting, negotiation and approvals, billing.
• Getting Promenade Speakers added to your vendor, payables and related systems.
• Preparing speaker to present – facilitating flow of background info to and from them.
• Facilitating pre-engagement briefings and recapping in writing.
• Coordinating miscellaneous requests such as social media participation, press interviews, self-recorded promo videos, bulk book purchases. Any sort of troubleshooting.
• Online engagements: I will generally participate as an observer.
• In-Person: I will generally not be on-site unless there’s a pre-arranged obligation or the event runs in the NY metro area, my home base. Periodically, I do travel to contracted client meetings and events at my own expense. In particular: for multiple bookings, celebrities or a potentially problematic circumstance. Or simply to meet clients, have a better idea of how your event runs.
• I work in my Manhattan, NY office Monday-Friday about 9:30 to 5:30pm Eastern time. Ability to confer off hours/days. I prefer phone and video calls to be arranged in advance. This allows me to secure a quiet, private area and not interrupt other client interactions in progress.

Once a contract is signed and a fee deposit is in-hand, I’ll provide you with:

• Speaker bio, spoken intro and photos.
• AV/Staging needs, riders if any.
• Billing of fee balances and travel expenses.
• Speaker contact info for onsite communications.
• Any special onsite needs – dietary, lodging, etc.
• Manage after-event requests.

Travel:

• Generally, speakers arrange their own travel and bill Promenade for out-of-pockets. Those costs are billed to you after the engagement. Typically, you arrange their lodging via your room block.
• Some speakers charge a “flat travel” dollar amount to cover their costs other than lodging. That will be explicitly addressed in our proposal and contracts.
