Important Information for Requesting a Speaker

Honorariums

• TPUSA does not always cover honorariums, either partially or fully. The decision is at the discretion of TPUSA.

• We highly recommend seeking additional funding from other organizations to cover potential honorarium costs, which can range from $1,000 to $50,000+, depending on the speaker.

Travel Arrangements

• Once your speaker is approved and any honorarium details are finalized, TPUSA will cover the speaker's travel expenses, including flights, hotel accommodations, Uber rides, and approved food-related costs (if applicable).

Event Expectations

• TPUSA maintains a standard of professionalism and first-class treatment for our speakers and partners. It is expected that speakers will be treated with respect at all events.

• Representation: Remember that when a speaker attends your event, you are representing TPUSA and its values.

• Point of Contact: Assign a designated contact person to communicate with the speaker. This ensures streamlined and consistent communication before, during, and after the event.

• If you have questions or need assistance related to your speaker request, please reach out to your manager, director, or team lead for guidance.
