Keynote speakers bureau for French-speaking corporate events
Ogma Events is a keynote speakers bureau based in Luxembourg and active in France, Belgium, Switzerland and internationally. We select and book French-speaking and bilingual speakers for seminars, conventions, kick-offs and corporate evenings: experts, executives, scientists, athletes and explorers, chosen for what they bring to your audience rather than for their fame alone.
What a speakers bureau does
A speakers bureau is the intermediary between event organisers and speakers. Its work starts before the first name: understanding the objective of the talk, the audience, the expected tone, the budget and the date. It continues after signature: speaker preparation, logistics, debrief. Ogma Events only proposes speakers the bureau knows and has seen on stage, and presents three profiles rather than an endless list.
Our four-step method
- Needs analysis. Event objective, audience, format, budget and date constraints.
- A shortlist of three. Availability, ability to engage your audience, fees, reliability. A thirty-minute call with the preferred speaker confirms the choice.
- Booking and contract. One contact, one document: scope, terms, expenses, recording rights.
- Preparation and debrief. Briefing sessions, validation of the running order, feedback after the event.
Our selection process in detail and our fee benchmarks are public.

Frequently asked questions
What does a speakers bureau do?
A speakers bureau analyses the organiser's brief, shortlists speakers who fit the topic, audience and budget, negotiates and contracts the engagement, then coordinates preparation and logistics up to the event day. At Ogma Events this runs in four steps: needs analysis, a shortlist of three profiles, booking and contract, preparation and debrief.
How much does a keynote speaker cost?
A professional keynote speaker costs between €2,000 and over €50,000 excluding tax, depending on profile and format. Most corporate engagements fall between €5,000 and €15,000. A remote session usually costs 30 to 50% less than an in-person one.
How do I find a speaker for a corporate seminar?
Start with the event's objective, the audience, the date and the budget envelope. Then browse our keynote topics or our speakers, or simply describe your project: we come back within 48 hours with a shortlist of three speakers available on your date.
How far in advance should I book?
Allow three to six months for peak periods, September to October and January to March, when conventions and seminars cluster. A flexible date widens the pool of available speakers considerably.
Do your speakers work in English or other languages?
Yes. Part of our roster is bilingual French-English, and some speakers also work in German, Dutch or Italian. State the expected language in the brief: it affects both availability and fees.
Is a bureau more expensive than contacting a speaker directly?
In most cases, no. The bureau negotiates at market conditions, and its fee covers a vetted shortlist, a single contract, logistics and end-to-end coordination, work that would otherwise fall on your team.
