Hollis Conway
Biography

Olympic medalist Hollis Conway was born in Chicago, Illinois, on January 8, 1967. From a difficult birth where his head was lodged under his mother's rib cage, he was given only a 50/50 chance of ever being a normal child. Boy did he ever prove them wrong.

Twenty-one years later, not only did Hollis prove to be a normal child but he also became one of the most prolific high jumpers in track and field history. He was the number one jumper in the United States for seven straight years. Six of those years, Hollis Conway was ranked in the top four in the world, conquering the number one spot twice. To his credit, Hollis has won two Olympic medals, a Silver in 1988 and a Bronze in 1992, and he still holds the American indoor record at 7'10.5".

Hollis Conway has been featured on many world renowned talk shows and commercials, some of which include TBN, The Harvest Show, Nike and McDonalds.

From a difficult birth to a Two-Time Olympic Medalist, Hollis has proven to be a real life over comer. Hollis Conway truly believes that life may become difficult at times but with the right attitude, a good plan and a strong will to survive, success will be inevitable!

How do I book Hollis Conway for my event?

Booking Hollis Conway with Premiere Speakers Bureau is a streamlined 4-step process:
  • Availability Check: Contact us with your event date and budget to verify if your desired speaker is available.
  • Hold Date: We place a temporary "hold" on the speaker's calendar while you finalize internal approval.
  • Contracting: We issue a contract outlining the fee, cancellation policy, and event expectations.
  • 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?

We know what it takes to run an excellent event.

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.
