The Rave Speakers Team was on a Zoom call this morning with a team of Meeting Professionals looking to book an agenda for April 2027 for an audience of Financial Advisors and some of their high-wealth clients. And this customer-partner shared with us that she simply won’t pay full-rate for a speaker—and we’ve heard that comment more and more lately!
But sports is on their agenda for 2027, and given that this audience has already heard from the likes of Peyton Manning, Magic Johnson, Jesse Cole (Savannah Bananas), and Caitlin Clark, we wanted to share what that “Under $100K” list of Sports Celebrity Speakers looks like for an audience looking for the Highest Profile:
