Direct Sportslink has listed different types of ways and events below to use a sports celebrity to help give you a better idea of some of the common practices and generally rule of thumbs for time involved as you search for specific fees and availability.

Types of Sports Celebrity Speaker and Appearance Events

Below are some of the more common ways to use a sports celebrity booking for an appearance or event:

**Note: It has been our experience that hiring a sports celebrity for a Moderated QA and Open QA session is much more relevant, impactful, engaging, controlled and targeted for your audience that just handing a speaker the microphone. We have found that our clients enjoy this process of knowing they control the questions and are targeting issues of interest to their specific group. Likewise, the sports celebrity really enjoys these "Fireside Chats" as they are more relaxed and they are prepared in advance for the questions.

• Opening or Closing Keynote - Many Times As Part of A Conference or Annual Event
• Corporate Motivational Speaker
• Sports Celebrity Guest Appearance at Trade Show Booth
• Annual Fundraiser Events
• Sports Camps - Sports Celebrity Appearance, Autographs, Photos, and Speaker Opportunities

Most sports celebrity appearances are for between 1.5-2 hours and depending on the type of event, celebrity etc. can often include meet and greets with autographs and photos.

Tips For Securing A Sports Celebrity Speaker or Appearance

• Understand Your Budget - This will drastically reduce the endless search for a sports celebrity speaker that is not in your budget that will not be available to you.
• Determine How You Want To Use Speaker or Appearance 
• Determine The Topics of Interest For Your Audience - This will allow suggestions and top recommendations based on your specific needs. It will also allow you to search our extensive database and categories with fee matches based on topics such as leadership, teamwork, adversity etc.
