Speakers bureau in
Abu Dhabi
UnoMe is a Swiss speaker agency based in Dubai, acting as a full-service speakers bureau for corporates, government entities and conference organisers in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. We handle everything around the speaker — selection, negotiation, contracting, travel and event-day coordination — so your team can focus on the event itself.
What a speakers bureau does in Abu Dhabi
Instead of emailing dozens of speakers and their agents, you send us one brief. We come back within 48 hours with a considered shortlist, negotiate the fees, draw up the contract, and coordinate travel, accommodation and technical rehearsals in Abu Dhabi. One point of contact, one all-in proposal, one party accountable.
Why organisations in United Arab Emirates use a speaker agency
Organisations in Abu Dhabi — from government forums, sovereign funds and energy or space innovation summits — work with a speaker agency for two reasons: access to speakers who don't answer cold enquiries, and protection against surprises. We know who is actually available, who lands well with Gulf audiences, and who is comfortable with official protocol when government delegations attend.
On-the-ground knowledge of the Abu Dhabi market
Abu Dhabi programmes are often built around national agendas: energy transition, sovereign investment, advanced technology and culture. Speakers are expected to bring substance and data rather than stagecraft, and to be comfortable with ministerial or royal attendance, protocol seating and pre-approved content — all of which we prepare with your team before the event.
Venue and partner network in Abu Dhabi
We coordinate with production teams at venues such as ADNEC, Emirates Palace, Louvre Abu Dhabi, Yas Island, with hotels and local AV companies, and take care of speaker visas, transfers and rehearsal schedules in Abu Dhabi.
Fees and transparency
We publish no price list because every event is different, but our proposal is all-in and clear before you commit: speaker fee, travel, accommodation and coordination in a single line. Our commission is paid by the speaker, so you pay no more than booking direct.

— FAQ
What is the difference between a speakers bureau and booking direct in Abu Dhabi?
A speakers bureau recommends the right speaker for your audience in Abu Dhabi, negotiates the fee, and handles the contract, travel and coordination — at no extra cost to you, since the commission is paid by the speaker.
How much does it cost to use a speakers bureau in Abu Dhabi?
Nothing extra. Our commission is included in the speaker's fee, so you get selection, negotiation and full coordination in Abu Dhabi for the same price as booking direct.
Do you handle contracts and payments for events in Abu Dhabi?
Yes. We draw up the contract with the speaker, collect payment into a single account, and manage visas, travel, accommodation and on-site coordination on the day in Abu Dhabi.
What happens if a speaker cancels before our event in Abu Dhabi?
That is one of the reasons a speakers bureau exists: we find a replacement of equivalent standing at short notice, and our network across Abu Dhabi and the Gulf is deep enough to deliver it.
