Speaking Engagement Booking Policy

Effective Date: October 18, 2026

Thank you for considering Tanya Tankou for your keynote, motivational speaking engagement, corporate event, conference, nonprofit workshop or community gathering.

Important: Submitting a booking inquiry does not reserve an event date. A booking is confirmed only after both parties approve a written agreement and any required initial payment is received.

1. Booking Requests

Event organizers should provide the event date, location, audience size, requested speaking topic, presentation duration, contact information and proposed budget. All requests are subject to availability.

2. Speaking Fees

Speaking fees are quoted individually based on the event format, presentation length, location, preparation requirements and travel needs.

The final fee and payment schedule will be stated in the written speaking agreement.

3. Deposits and Payment

Any required deposit, remaining balance and payment deadline will be specified in the signed agreement. No payment is required merely to submit an inquiry.

4. Cancellations

Unless otherwise specified in the signed agreement, the following standard cancellation terms apply to confirmed engagements:

More than 30 days before the event: Amounts paid are refundable except approved, documented nonrecoverable expenses.
15–30 days before the event: Up to 50% of the agreed speaking fee may be due.
14 days or fewer before the event: Up to 100% of the agreed speaking fee may be due.

Amounts already paid will be credited toward any applicable cancellation charges. The signed agreement controls if its terms differ.

5. Rescheduling

Requests to reschedule are subject to availability and written approval. Any revised date, payment credit or additional expenses must be confirmed in writing.

6. Travel and Accommodations

For engagements requiring travel, airfare, hotel accommodations, ground transportation and approved related expenses will be addressed in the written agreement.

7. Event Organizer Responsibilities

Organizers are responsible for providing a safe and accessible event environment, appropriate audiovisual equipment, event coordination and accurate event information.

8. Photography, Recording and Media

Photography, promotional excerpts, livestreaming, recording and redistribution are subject to advance agreement. Commercial reuse of Tanya Tankou's name, image, presentation or materials requires written permission.

9. Emergencies and Circumstances Beyond Control

If severe weather, illness, travel disruption, emergency or other circumstances beyond reasonable control prevent an event from proceeding, the parties will work in good faith to reschedule or resolve the engagement under the written agreement.

10. Professional Conduct

All events must maintain a respectful and safe environment. Harassment, unlawful conduct or material misrepresentation of the engagement may be grounds for cancellation, subject to the signed agreement and applicable law.

11. Written Agreement

This policy provides general booking terms. The separately signed speaking engagement agreement governs the final obligations of both parties.
