Keynote Topics
A Global Macroeconomic Update
The economic data these days offers something for everyone; you can paint whatever picture you want for the global economy depending on which data you give the most weight to.
Off the back of a pandemic, lockdowns, stimulus measures, supply chain snafus, a war in Europe and persistently high inflation, many things in economics aren’t working as the textbooks suggest they should.
Megan Greene will provide the data for where we are in the global economy and explain where we are going from here for the next year and also structurally in the longer-term.
Top 10 Geopolitical Risks
Geopolitics haven’t really moved markets since the Global Financial Crisis—until Russia invaded Ukraine. Now geopolitical risk is impacting markets, inflation and growth across the globe.
Megan Greene will go through the top ten geopolitical risks we are facing globally and will discuss their likelihood and also the impact they will have on the global economy, your sector and your business.
Is Recession Nigh?
Cyclical & Structural Risks & Opportunities
When economists find consensus on when a recession will hit, it usually doesn’t fall then. They say the key to success in economic forecasting is to forecast often.
Megan Greene is unafraid to have out of consensus views and has a fantastic forecasting track record.
She examines high frequency economic data, structural trends, global flows, political factors and policy developments to determine the state of the global recovery and to highlight risks and opportunities for businesses and markets.
Revamping Economics to Address Inequality
Wealth and income inequality is one of the greatest economic, social and political challenges of our time. Increasing gaps between the haves and have-nots have eroded the social contract in a number of developed countries and caused many to question whether capitalism is really working for them.
New disruptors such as technology and new market participants have changed the drivers of wealth, wages and growth, but economists are still clinging on to old frameworks to understand these factors.
The territory and the map are far apart—it’s no wonder economists have been getting lost.
Megan Greene explains why the maps are outdated and updates them to provide some ideas on how policymakers and businesses can address inequality.

Talent FAQ's
Do speakers charge a flat fee or by the hour?
Speaker fees can vary depending on factors such as expertise, demand, and event specifics. While some speakers may charge a flat fee for their services, others may have hourly rates. It’s best to discuss fee structures directly with the speaker or their representative to understand the pricing model.
What is the typical duration of a keynote speech and what is included?
Keynote speeches typically range from 30 to 90 minutes, with the duration determined by the speaker’s expertise, the event’s agenda, and audience preferences. Keynote speeches often include a combination of inspirational stories, practical insights, and actionable advice tailored to the event’s theme or objectives.
Does the scale of the event and audience size affect a speaker’s fee?
The scale of the event and audience size can indeed impact a speaker’s fee. Larger events with a broader reach or higher attendance may command higher fees due to increased exposure and demand. Conversely, smaller events or niche audiences may offer opportunities for more flexible pricing arrangements.
Travel expenses and other costs
Travel expenses such as transportation, accommodation, and meals are typically negotiated separately from the speaker’s fee. These costs vary depending on the speaker’s location, travel distance, and event duration. It’s important to clarify travel arrangements and expenses during the booking process to avoid misunderstandings.
Deposits and securing a booking
Many speakers require a deposit to secure a booking, with the remaining balance due closer to the event date. Deposits are often non-refundable and serve as a commitment from both parties. It’s advisable to discuss deposit requirements and payment terms with the speaker or their representative when finalizing the booking.
Additional tips and takeaways
- Virtual speaking appearances are a cost-effective alternative to high speaking fees, often 10-50% cheaper than in-person rates.
- There is typically no difference in fee for a 15-minute speech versus a 60-minute speech.
- Some motivational speakers are open to discounting their fee if hired for more than one event by the same organization.
- When browsing speakers, consider their location to keep travel costs down.
- Personal connections to your organization or event location can increase your chances of securing a renowned speaker.
- Be upfront about your needs and expectations to ensure a successful partnership.
