Vinny Lingham
Biography

Called the "Oracle" of Bitcoin, Vinny Lingham is perhaps the most recognized Crypto-Currency expert in the world. Vinny is regularly recognized and featured by major media worldwide like Fortune Magazine, CNBC, Business Insider, and many more.. Along with Elon Musk, South African-born Vinny is currently South Africa's other major technology entrepreneur export to the famous Silicon Valley in San Francisco and is always found ranked online in the top 5 lists of the most influential FinTech/ Blockchain/ Crypto Sphere insiders on the planet. He is a Shark on "Shark Tank South Africa" made by the same producers as "Shark Tank" in the U.S.

His previous business Gyft, which sold electronic gift vouchers, shot to fame after it started to accept Bitcoins. After California-based First Data acquired Gyft in 2014, reportedly for over $50m, Lingham - a serial entrepreneur - has since also become well known as the 'Bitcoin Oracle' for his accurate forecasts of movements in the cryptocurrency's price and is now known as one of the world's top experts on Bitcon and Blockchain.

After over a decade of experience in e-commerce, he realized that no-one had a universal identity solution that balanced security and privacy with ease of use and ubiquity. Today, his company, Civic, is being built from the ground up to solve problems relating to identity theft, fraud, and ultimately, democracy.

How do I book Vinny Lingham for my event?

Booking Vinny Lingham 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?

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.
