Frequently Asked Questions - Asia Speakers Bureau (ASB)

As a professional speaking bureau, we do not encourage 'free talk' for Asia Speakers Bureau™ speakers.

We help our professional speakers to get speaking platforms locally and on a regional basis. That is, you are paid for speaking. The expenses for overseas traveling and hotel are normally taken care of by Asia Speakers Bureau™ (ASB). Speakers can charge a professional fee of your choice and ASB takes a 30% for our professional service & arrangement provided.

If you conduct your own talks at your own arrangement, there is no charge from ASB. The 30% professional charge from ASB only applies for events organised by ASB or ASB with other event organisers.

In short, ASB charges you 30% on your speaker's fee or total gross collections where we provide you the opportunity for a speaking platform locally and overseas. (For overseas, we would normally provide travel & hotel arrangement with the organisers.)

We can also help you organise your talks (also together with other speakers from ASB) in hotels or events halls. In areas where we provide advertisement, promotion, rooms, meals for your talk, your professional fee is 30% of our total gross takings after deducting the total agreed cost of the project. You can decide what would be the asking charges per person registering for your event. If we are agreeable, ASB will take on the project.

ASB is not for every one involved in speaking. They must be professional speakers. Not a place for Multi Level Marketing (MLM), Toastmasters, Entertainers, Insurances or Property people who just wants to sell their products or business. Joining ASB does not guarantee that you will have speaking opportunities immediately. Not all speaking platform is suitable for everyone. Not everyone is suitable for all speaking platform. Depending on the subject, place and the terms that you are asking if acceptable by our client.

The application fee is a one-time process only. The enrolment is subject to approval by ASB and the decision will be final.

Joining ASB, entitles you to network with other speakers, mentors, and event organisers locally and regionally on reduced / privilege charges.
