Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about speaking at Apex

Do speakers get paid?
Payment varies by package and event type. Guest speakers typically speak in exchange for exposure and networking. Featured speakers and sponsors pay for premium packages that include booth space, lead generation, and marketing benefits. Some keynote positions at major events include speaker fees. We discuss compensation during the application review.
How long are speaking sessions?
Session lengths vary: breakout sessions are typically 30-45 minutes, keynotes are 45-60 minutes, and workshops can be 90 minutes to half-day. We'll work with you to determine the best format for your content and audience.
Do you cover travel expenses?
For most speakers, travel and accommodation are the speaker's responsibility. For premium keynote speakers at major events, we may provide travel stipends or accommodation. Sponsors typically receive event accommodations as part of their package.
Can I sell products or services from stage?
Speakers should provide value-first content. Soft promotions and calls-to-action are acceptable. Hard selling from stage is discouraged unless you're a sponsor with a branded session. Speakers with booths can actively promote their offerings in the exhibition area.
How far in advance should I apply?
We recommend applying at least 3-6 months before your preferred event date. Popular events fill speaker slots quickly. Applying early gives us more flexibility to match you with the best opportunities.
Can I speak at multiple events?
Absolutely! Many of our speakers present at multiple Apex events throughout the year. We offer multi-event packages for speakers who want to maximize their reach across different regions and event types.
What if I've never spoken publicly before?
While we prefer speakers with some experience, we welcome emerging voices with compelling expertise. Consider starting with a workshop or panel discussion rather than a keynote. We can also suggest speaker training resources.
Will my session be recorded?
Most sessions are recorded for internal purposes and promotional use. Speakers in Featured and Premium packages receive copies of their session recordings. We always request permission before any public distribution of recordings.
