Frequently Asked Questions on Working With Cait

I believe my role is to move the audience AND to make your life easier. I create prep documents for each event with all of the information you need in one place so you don't have to search for anything. I am happy to attend cocktail receptions, stay after for hallway questions and more.

Day rate includes 1 keynote + 1 breakout (same day) (or up to 4 hours presenting). A 2nd consecutive day is 30% off. Discount only applies to back-to-back days—not separated (e.g., not Mon & Wed).

I always want to know what will serve your community best. Pre event calls are great moments to discuss how to align your needs and my work. We can change titles, slide design, and add industry specific stats as well as make other changes!

I am happy to make short (30-60s) videos to share on social media. I am happy to send out registration links in my newsletter. I am happy to repost and share posts I am tagged in for your event.

Most commonly, I attend other sessions and make myself available to participants throughout the entire day. In the case that I do have to leave for another event, I do my best to make myself available for the night before networking.

Yes! I am happy to do a book signing, a meet and greet, a Fireside chat, stay for an outing, a cocktail, or just be present and available in case any participants want to snag time with me in between other sessions!

For events with lower budgets, I have other speakers within my company who can provide the service. I am always happy to recommend them or make a local recommendation for your company through my speaking world contacts. Even if I'm not your speaker, I'm here to help. My fees have light flexibility.

You will receive all event materials BEFORE the event on our shared prep document.

I am happy to have events recorded as long as a raw copy is shared with me and a clear distribution plan is discussed and agreed upon ahead of time.

I have a flat $2,000 travel fee that we use to cover airfare, rental car/uber. Hotel is paid for by the client (typically as part of a room block). This flat fee may be waived in instances where my travel is under 4 hours by car. I am happy to drive as long as the hotel / parking is covered.
