Getting “business guru” Chris Anderson, the editor of Wired magazine and author of Free! Why $0.00 Is the Future of Business , to speak at your conference will reportedly set you back $40,000 to $50,000. A friend of mine recently tried to book Seth Godin for a music industry panel and was told by his speaker agent that he charges $150,000 to come to London from his home in New York. And, like pretty much all these “gurus”, he demands a first-class round-trip flight ticket to boot. But if they let him do it via video link from his hometown it would only cost $15,000 plus expenses, said the agent.
