Speaking Terms for Eric KaufmanThanks for considering me as a speaker. What follows is an overview about my fees and preferred topics, formats and terms. The topics I generally speak on are our Sustainability + Resilience paradigm for large scale buildings and municipalities, how to implement our PEP (protect, enhance and preserve) measures and/or our Friends of the Dryline. http://bit.ly/1Z3TGTU. FEES Generally – My basic fee is $2,500 per speaking day, plus expenses. For my travel days, I charge $500. Expenses for 1-3 day trips usually total $500-1,000. Multiple Day Tours – Some sponsors, particularly those outside the United States, understandably like to take advantage of my long trip and put together multiple events in proximate communities. I like this too, and therefore am prepared to offer a financial incentive for such "packages." Virtual Events – I'm also prepared to keep my carbon footprint lower and avoid travel altogether through a virtual event. I'm happy to give a talk via Skype, Google, or another platform. Since every talk requires several hours of preparation, I typically charge $1,000 for this. Discounts – All municipalities and not-for-profit organizations receive a 5% discount on my speaking day ($2,375 instead of $2500), and 5% discount on all other linked speaking and travel days ($475 instead of $500). Gratis Speeches –Two or three times each year, I'm willing to speak for a lower fee or no fee at all, though even in these circumstances expenses must be covered. Please only ask for this if you expect an audience of more than 1,000. NEXT STEPS: BOOKING Booking Procedures – To move ahead, please let me know that these terms are acceptable and let me know the dates, topics, talk lengths, audience sizes, and any other relevant details. E-mail communication is usually fastest (ekaufman@naturalresiliencefund.org). I'll then send you a contract for signature (often just an exchange of e-mails suffices).
