How much does it cost to book a speaker? 

Fees vary depending on the speaker’s profile, experience and travel requirements. We’ll always provide transparent options within your budget and help you find the best fit for your goals.

Can I meet or brief the speaker before my event? 

Absolutely. Most speakers are happy to take a short briefing call or video meeting to discuss objectives, tone and key messages before the event.

Our speakers — both New Zealand-based and international — are approachable, collaborative and genuinely invested in helping your event succeed.

Will an ICMI representative meet with me? 

Yes. Tracy Martin, our Managing Consultant, is based in Auckland and regularly travels throughout New Zealand to meet with clients and event organisers. She’s also happy to connect online — whatever suits your schedule best.

Can I see my speaker in action before the event? 

If your chosen speaker is presenting at a public or corporate event near you in New Zealand, this can often be arranged in advance.

Where that’s not possible, we have a large library of showreels and recordings so you can see their style, delivery and audience connection before you book.

Does ICMI handle travel and logistics? 

Yes. Our team can coordinate flights, accommodation and event details directly with the speaker or their management to keep your planning simple.

Who looks after travel and contracts? 

Our dedicated travel and contracts support team manages the practical details — from flights and accommodation to agreements and invoicing. They work closely with Tracy and the speaker to make sure everything runs smoothly, on time and on budget.

What if my event needs to change or postpone? 

We understand plans change. We’ll work with you and the speaker to reschedule or adjust arrangements wherever possible. All details will be clearly outlined in your booking confirmation.

Is ICMI New Zealand part of a larger organisation? 

ICMI New Zealand operates locally with full autonomy, supported by access to ICMI’s international talent network and resources. This means you get both local expertise and global reach.

Are you a member of BEIA? 

Yes. ICMI New Zealand is a proud member of BEIA (Business Events Industry Aotearoa), reflecting our commitment to professionalism and excellence in the business events sector.
