Every keynote is built from scratch for your event. James incorporates your company culture, conference theme, and strategic goals into a presentation that your audience will feel was written just for them.

🎤

Exceptional Delivery

On the day, James arrives early, connects with your team, and delivers a keynote that energises the room. He's happy to stay for a meet-and-greet, book signing, or panel — whatever makes the event a success.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

What resources does James Taylor provide to event planners?
James Taylor provides a comprehensive planner toolkit including updated biographies in short, medium, and long formats; a full Speaker Kit with programme descriptions and credentials; high-resolution publicity photographs; AV requirements and stage setup specifications; pre-event questionnaire; social media assets; and a dedicated point of contact (Dodi Verzano, assistant@jamestaylor.me) who manages all logistics from contract to event day.
How far in advance should I book James Taylor for my event?
For peak conference seasons (Q1 and Q4), we recommend booking James Taylor 6–12 months in advance, as his calendar fills quickly — particularly for incentive travel programmes and flagship industry conferences. For other periods, 3–6 months typically allows sufficient preparation time for a fully customised keynote.
What are James Taylor's AV requirements for a keynote?
James requires a full-range sound system capable of at least 110dB SPL, a confidence monitor on stage showing current and next slide, a wireless headset or lavalier microphone, a 16:9 (1920x1080) LCD projector or screen, and an AV engineer on standby. No lectern or podium please. Full AV specifications are available for download on this page.
How does James Taylor customise his keynote for our audience?
James's customisation process goes significantly further than most speakers. It begins with a discovery call, followed by AI-powered psychographic analysis of your audience — analysing industry trends, delegate profiles, and organisational challenges. He then builds a keynote from scratch that incorporates your company culture, conference theme, and strategic objectives. Final slides are delivered one week before your event.
Can I use James Taylor's photos and bio for our event marketing?
Yes — all materials on this page are provided specifically for event promoters. You may use James's biography, headshots, and programme descriptions on your event website, conference programmes, promotional emails, and social media posts. For images that include photo credits, please include the credit wherever the image is used.
How much does James Taylor charge for a keynote?
James Taylor's keynote fees vary depending on event location, format (in-person, virtual, or hybrid), duration, and level of customisation. Contact the team at enquiries@jamestaylor.me or via the form on this page for a customised proposal — typically delivered within 24 hours.
Does James Taylor do post-event follow-up with attendees?
Yes. James provides post-event resources tailored to your audience — including summary materials, follow-up reading, and, where relevant, access to his online learning community. He also creates promotional videos and social media assets before the event to help you drive registrations and attendee engagement.
What happens after I confirm my booking with James Taylor?
Once your booking is confirmed, Dodi Verzano (James's assistant) will send you a welcome pack including this resource page link, the pre-event questionnaire, and a briefing call schedule. James himself will then join a discovery call to begin his research process. You'll receive final slides one week before your event, and James will arrive early on the day to walk the room and meet your AV team.
