Speaker fees

For MHRA staff to present at conferences takes a considerable amount of time, both in preparation and in time spent at the event. Therefore if MHRA speakers are able to participate, some form of financial compensation may be applicable depending on the organisers profile and the nature of the event.

Fees

• We expect commercial profile organisations/events to cover the standard speaker fee of £1,250 and meet speakers’ travel, accommodation and subsistence costs.
• For non-profit organisations/events we would only expect speakers’ travel, accommodation and subsistence costs to be covered.

There may be some instances where a different level of financial compensation can be negotiated. This will be agreed by the person responsible for dealing with the request and the event organisers. It is then left to the senior management discretion whether or not they want to accept the request on the terms that have been negotiated.

The MHRA will send an invoice for the speaker fee during the month that the event occurs; this must be paid within 30 days of receipt of the invoice.
