While the primary business of Reach Advisors focuses on our custom strategy, research and predictive analytics engagements around emerging shifts in the external landscape, we also enjoy sharing some of our general findings in featured presentations. But for these presentations, we receive many more invitations than we can fulfill. To streamline that process, please read the information below to help determine what might best serve your needs.
Customized presentations:
Reach Advisors shares our publicly available intellectual capital on emerging shifts in the consumer landscape at a wide variety of conferences and meetings, with event organizers reporting that our presentations typically garner the strongest ratings they've seen for the events they produce.
A few examples of current presentation topics:
聽
"Macro Shifts and Consumer Trends: What's Around the Corner?"
"How Will the Post-Recession Consumer Landscape Look Different?"
"Census 2010: Implications for the Decade"
"The Future Landscape for Travel and Tourism"
"The 2010s: The Decade of Total Wellness"
"Fundamental Shifts in Leisure Time"
More examples can be found on our presentations page.
The fee for presentations by James Chung run between $12,500-$25,000 (plus travel expenses), depending on whether it's a non-customized presentation already on hand or a custom presentation drawing on new research. Presentations by Senior Consultants run $6,000, plus travel.
To inquire about availability, contact us at presentations@reachadvisors.com or call 518.439.6942.
Non-customized pro-bono presentations for non-profits:
Reach Advisors accepts up to six pro-bono presentation requests per year, under the following circumstances:
- For non-profit organizations only.
- Pro bono presentations will likely use a presentation already on hand, requiring no customization. (Other presentations fall under our standard fee structure noted above to cover the cost of the customization work.)
- Although an organization may request a specific presenter, Reach Advisors may need to substitute presenters, depending on availability.
- To help tune the talking points and Q&A, the organization provides access to member materials on the website before the presentation, and one or two badges to sit in on relevent sessions before the presentation.
- Presentation slides may not be ready prior to the event, or available for distribution after the event without prior permission.
- If the presentation is taped, recorded or photographed, the host agrees to share that automatically with Reach Advisors as soon as the digital format is available.
- While we'll work with whatever audio is available, we strongly recommend a wireless lavaliere microphone to engage the audience more effectively.
- After the presentation, we would appreciate feedback on what topics spurred the most conversation (or didn't quite register) with the audience.
- The one challege we need to address up front is that unfortunately, we are sometimes completely consumed by our focus on client work, and there may be times when we can't be as responsive to pro bono presentation commitments.
- We realize that we probably require more than most presenters sharing a pro bono presentation, although we also strive to deliver far more from all of our presentations!
While the number of requests for our pro bono presentations far exceed the number that we can accept, odds for acceptance increase when we have as much detail as possible on the following:
- Is there an overall theme for the event?
- Is there a specific Reach Advisors presentation that you've seen or heard about that you would like to have shared for this event?
- What is the format for the presentation (e.g. keynote, luncheon presentation, etc.)?
- Are any other speakers getting paid? If so, how much? (If other speakers are getting paid, Reach Advisors might still waive our standard fee structure, and accept the same amount that the host offers other featured speakers.)
- What is the expected audience composition and size for this specific presentation? (Odds of acceptance increase if it's a sizeable number of senior-level attendees, decrease if there's less clarity on the audience for this specific session.)
- How is the organization able to help promote the value of the Reach Advisor's presentation?
- Are you able to cover our travel expenses (see below)?
To submit a pro bono request, please email the answers to the above questions, as well as any other information that Reach Advisors should know that might impact the consideration of this request, to presentations@reachadvisors.com.
Travel expense policy
Sponsoring organizations will be responsible for the full travel expense of the presenter, although Reach Advisors will make best efforts to keep costs reasonable and customary for the location. Note that travel expenses typically run between $750 - $1,750 (less if by train or car, more if international).
聽
Reach Advisors will select a fare with schedule rather than cost as the primary driver in order to decrease odds that travel delays could prevent the presenter from making it to the event on time. Unfortunately, we have found that it is typically less expensive to purchase a more expensive changeable fare than a less expensive non-refundable fare since we need to change more than half of our flight reservations to accomodate scheduling and potential travel disruptions.
聽
Other expenses will include all lodging and meals while traveling (not to exceed customary costs for the location), all ground transportation from round trip from office or residence, all incidentals (e.g., internet access, tips, lounge access for international travel in order to facilitate ample buffer time in case of travel delays).
