Speakers bureau in
Riyadh
UnoMe is a Swiss speaker agency based in Dubai, acting as a full-service speakers bureau for corporates, government entities and conference organisers in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. 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 Riyadh
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 Riyadh. One point of contact, one all-in proposal, one party accountable.
Why organisations in Saudi Arabia use a speaker agency
Organisations in Riyadh — from Vision 2030 programmes, giga-project teams and financial sector events — 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 Riyadh market
Riyadh's event calendar is driven by Vision 2030: giga-projects, localisation, tourism, sport and a fast-growing financial centre. Audiences are young, ambitious and increasingly Arabic-first, so we prioritise speakers who can present in Arabic or work with high-quality interpretation, and who can tailor case studies to Saudi transformation programmes.
Venue and partner network in Riyadh
We coordinate with production teams at venues such as King Abdulaziz International Conference Centre, Riyadh Front, Ritz-Carlton Riyadh, with hotels and local AV companies, and take care of speaker visas, transfers and rehearsal schedules in Riyadh.
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 Riyadh?
A speakers bureau recommends the right speaker for your audience in Riyadh, 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 Riyadh?
Nothing extra. Our commission is included in the speaker's fee, so you get selection, negotiation and full coordination in Riyadh for the same price as booking direct.
Do you handle contracts and payments for events in Riyadh?
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 Riyadh.
What happens if a speaker cancels before our event in Riyadh?
That is one of the reasons a speakers bureau exists: we find a replacement of equivalent standing at short notice, and our network across Riyadh and the Gulf is deep enough to deliver it.
