Speaker FAQ's


1. What is the AFP Online Speaker Database, and how will it help me?

The AFP Online Speaker Database is a portal where you can input your information to be posted as a speaker listing. Users will search for speakers based on the Hot Topics, regions, credentials, etc. Once you are listed as a speaker, you can be contacted by a user who is seeking a speaker that matches your criteria for their event (conference, seminar, gala, course, webinar, etc.). Creating a speaker listing for yourself will give you plenty of visibility to the users. Members of the Association of Fundraising Professionals (AFP) have access to the AFP Speaker Database on a daily basis. But the directory isn't limited to association members. Other CEOs, executive directors, vice presidents, managers and consultants are using the directory as well.

2. Is the AFP Online Speaker Database free to me, as a speaker?

AFP Members receive the basic listing (name, address, phone and fax) at no cost. You have the opportunity for a basic listing (free to AFP Members; nominal fee for non-members), completed listing (nominal fee for both AFP Members and non-members), and various upgrade options (nominal fee for both AFP Members and non-members),. You can also purchase a banner or showcase spot for yourself or your products/services offered. The pricing model for a speaker listing in the AFP Online Speaker Database can be found under Advertisers-Guide Media Kit.

3. What should I include as my "Description" for my speaker listing?

We suggest you include as much information about your speaking abilities that you can to ensure the best fit for the user that is seeking a speaker. Helpful suggestions on what to include in your Description, which may entice users to contact you are: Speaker Bio; Topic(s)/Titles(s)/Brief Description(s) of presentations you have to offer; Previous presentations offered with ratings provided; References for previous speaking engagements; Honorarium charges (if any); How far you'll travel to present; And any other important information about your speaking abilities that you think would entice the user.

  • 0-2 Years Experience - Entry Level; 3-6 Years Experience - Mid-Level; 7-9 Years Experience - Senior Level; 10+ Years Experience - Advanced - These "levels" refer to the level of experience that you, the speaker, can present to.
