How do I book Daniel Burrus for my event?

Booking Daniel Burrus with Premiere Speakers Bureau is a streamlined 4-step process: 1. Availability Check: Contact us with your event date and budget to verify if your desired speaker is available. 2. Hold Date: We place a temporary 'hold' on the speaker's calendar while you finalize internal approval. 3. Contracting: We issue a contract outlining the fee, cancellation policy, and event expectations. 4. Logistics: Once signed, our event management team handles all travel booking, itinerary, and AV requirements.

Why should I partner with Premiere Speakers Bureau rather than contacting speakers directly?

Partnering with Premiere Speakers Bureau provides a comprehensive safety net for your event that direct booking cannot match. You get the same speaker for the same price, but with a dedicated team with over 30 years of event experience handling contracts, logistics, and are prepared for any emergency. We know what it takes to run an excellent event.

What makes Premiere Speakers Bureau unique compared to other agencies?

Premiere Speakers Bureau distinguishes itself by having over 30 years of experience while partnering with more than 35,000 events. PSB has also built a streamlined, fully online process that makes booking a speaker, handling travel and payments extremely easy for anyone looking to plan a speaker led event.

How does Premiere Speakers Bureau's 'Zero Cost Service' model work?

Premiere Speakers Bureau operates on a 'Zero Cost Service' model for event planners. Our services—including research, booking, and logistics—are always free to the client. The speaker covers our commission from their standard honorarium as payment for our role in marketing and managing their engagements.

How are speaker fees structured, and what is typically included?

A speaker's fee typically covers the keynote presentation, a pre-event planning call, and standard customization. Travel expenses are usually billed separately.

What are the standard policies for speaker travel and expenses?

Travel expenses are negotiated during contracting. We generally recommend a flat travel fee for simplicity, though we also offer line-by-line invoicing when preferred. PSB ensures these expenses adhere to professional standards, and our Event Portal allows for easy tracking and invoicing.

Anticipate. Accelerate. Lead.

Turn Hard Trends and AI Into Competitive Advantage

The biggest leadership mistake is waiting for disruption before taking action.

In this high-impact keynote, Daniel Burrus shows leaders how to identify Hard Trends—future facts that will happen—and use them to anticipate disruption, pre-solve problems, and uncover opportunities before competitors see them.

Daniel also reveals how to use AI more strategically by starting with an Anticipatory Mindset and AI Skill Set before the AI Tool Set.

Leaders leave knowing how to see change sooner, innovate faster, reduce risk, and act with greater confidence.

See it sooner. Act on it faster. Lead the change.

Lead With Certainty

See What’s Coming. Act Before It Hits.

Uncertainty gets the attention. Certainty creates the biggest advantage.

Using his proven Hard Trend Methodology, Daniel Burrus shows leaders how to separate what will happen from what might happen.

That distinction allows leaders to anticipate disruption, pre-solve predictable problems, identify opportunities earlier, and make bold decisions with greater confidence.

Instead of asking, “What might happen?” Anticipatory Leaders ask:

“What do we know will happen—and what should we do about it now?”

Agility helps you react faster. Anticipation lets you act first.

Human-First AI

Get the Gains Without Losing Trust

AI can improve productivity and reduce costs. It can also weaken trust, relationships, and human capability if leaders focus only on automation.

Daniel Burrus introduces Human-First AI, a practical strategy for using AI to unlock human potential in a hyper-automated world.

Leaders learn how to determine what should be automated, augmented, transformed, or kept distinctly human, while developing the critical thinking, judgment, creativity, and AI skills their people need.

The goal is simple: use AI to increase human value, customer trust, and business performance.

Futureview®

Align Today Around What’s Coming Tomorrow

Every organization has a strategy. Far fewer have a shared view of the future that strategy is built around.

Daniel Burrus introduces Futureview®, a leadership framework for helping organizations align around what is changing, what is certain, and what matters most.

Using an Anticipatory Lens, leaders learn how to separate Hard Trends from assumptions and apply that clarity to strategy, AI, innovation, workforce decisions, investment, and risk.

A shared Futureview helps leaders align faster, make better decisions, and give employees greater confidence about where the organization is going.

See the future together. Move toward it faster.
