Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using our website, submitting a form, or joining our community, you agree to these Terms of Service.

Our Services

We provide:

Speaker Directory

KeyNote Women Speakers maintains a curated directory of accomplished women speakers. Upon receiving inquiries from event organisers, we facilitate introductions by proposing suitable speakers based on topic expertise, budget, location, and other relevant criteria.

KeyNote Women Speakers is not a speaker bureau. We do not actively source speaking engagements on behalf of speakers.

Where KeyNote facilitates an introduction that results in a confirmed booking, a commission of 20% of the gross speaking fee applies. Payment may be managed directly by KeyNote on behalf of the speaker or remitted by the speaker to KeyNote following receipt of payment from the event organizer. Full details are set out in the Speaker Agreement, which all listed speakers are required to sign prior to their profile being published.

Speaker Directory Membership

  • Membership in the KeyNote Women Speakers directory requires an application and approval process
  • A one-off membership fee applies. The applicable amount and currency will be communicated to you upon approval, and may vary depending on your country of residence.
  • Profiles are reviewed before publication and will only go live after approval and payment.
  • KeyNote Women Speakers reserves the right to decline or remove any application or listing that does not align with our values and standards.
  • The Speaker Agreement must be signed before a profile is published. By signing, speakers agree to represent themselves accurately and uphold the values of the KeyNote community.

Speaker Profiles

Speakers are responsible for ensuring their profile information remains accurate, complete, and up to date at all times. Any changes to a speaker’s profile are subject to KeyNote’s review and approval before going live on the directory.

KeyNote Women Speakers reserves the right, in its sole discretion and without prior notice, to remove, suspend, or modify any profile that it determines to be inaccurate, misleading, inappropriate, or inconsistent with our directory standards.

For the avoidance of doubt, any inquiry received through KeyNote website or platform while a speaker’s profile is live in the directory shall be subject to the commission provisions set out in the Speaker Agreement.

Event Organisers

  • Event organisers may browse our directory and submit inquiries to connect with speakers
  • Upon receiving an inquiry, KeyNote will propose suitable speakers, based on topic, budget, location, and other relevant criteria.

KeyNote Women Speakers is a directory and facilitation service, not a speaker bureau. Depending on the preference of the event organiser, KeyNote may manage payment on behalf of the speaker. In such cases, KeyNote will issue an invoice to the event organiser, deduct the applicable 20% commission upon receipt of payment, and remit the remaining balance to the speaker within 30 days. Where payment is made directly between the event organiser and the speaker, the speaker is responsible for remitting the applicable commission to KeyNote in accordance with the Speaker Agreement.

  • Event organisers acknowledge that speakers listed in the directory are independent professionals and that KeyNote Women Speakers is not responsible for the content, quality, or delivery of any speaking services.
