A versatile speaker, Tony can craft an appearance on your campus to meet your needs. In fact, he would rather let the instructors determine the subject matter (within Tony's areas of expertise) as they know what their students will benefit from most. He is available for luncheons/dinner speaking engagements, one, and two day residencies. Three typical schedules are:
Speaking Engagement: Arrive early to mid-morning. Speak. Book signing. Depart
One Day Residency: Tony will arrive the evening before, attend classes or conduct workshops from 8 am as you with, speak/read in the evening, if desired, departing the next morning.
Two Day Residency: Again, Tony will arrive the evening before, attend classes or conduct workshops, speak/read in the evening, if desired, and work with classes the next day as well, either departing late that evening or early the next morning.
Honoraria: Please contact Tony at tony@tonyhays.com for actual quotes. Costs generally include travel, accommodations, and an honorarium based on the length of the engagement. In today's economy, Tony's fees are very modest. He is also happy to travel by the lowest cost method possible and doesn't mind driving if distances are amenable. If you are part of a consortium, he is more than happy to work out a fee based on multiple appearances.
