I am thrilled and honored to be a part of your event. My goal is that every single audience member has an unforgettable experience, laughing and learning about both the power and the pleasure of food- and most of all realizing a renewed faith in their own ability to start experiencing health at the highest level. Please let me know if there is anything at all I can do to help ensure your event is nothing less than an incredible success.
4 Easy Steps:
Step One: Once you have selected Kate and confirmed the date is available, you will receive a Speaker Contract. Please sign and return this agreement along with a 50% deposit to confirm your hold and reserve the event date on Kate’s calendar.
Step Two: Please print out this page for your records, which has all of the information you will need regarding Kate’s travel documents, AV needs, and more.
Step Three: Kate will contact you to set up a conference call to discuss the customization of her talk for your group, and the specific details of your event. Please fill out the Pre Event Questionnaire form before the call. This form asks in depth questions so she can get to know the group better and ensure a blockbuster program tailored just for them.

Step Four: Three weeks prior to the program Kate will arrange for a short (15 minute), final call to review all final details including book sales, event flow, travel and other final information to ensure a perfect event.
You’ve Booked Kate….What’s Next?
My Official Name:
Please note that for any travel, my official name on all travel documents is Kathleen Geagan.
Hotel: Please reserve a non-smoking room, with guaranteed late arrival the evening before my session.
Transportation: I typically arrange my own coach air travel and send you the itinerary-if you prefer to book travel please let me know as soon as possible. If appropriate I will split the cost with other clients. Expenses include airfare, meals, door to door ground transfers in both cities, and gratuities.
Pre-Session Events: Please let me know if there are any pre-events that I might attend. If possible I always love getting to know attendees more personally and often find fun ways to customize these interactions into my presentation.
AV Requirements:
Unless other arrangements are confirmed in advance, I typically bring my MAC Laptop, power cord to connect with LCD and thumb drive.
Please provide:
- a wireless lavaliere microphone.
- An LCD projector and remote control advancer.
- a handheld microphone for audience participation (preferably wireless).
For Edible Education:
The additional cost of edible education varies on the number of attendees, as it is relative to the amount of tasting supplies (usually $300-$500). In addition, please arrange to provide 1 volunteer for each 25 audience members doing the tasting. These folks will help me ensure tasting samples are passed out in a timely manner so everyone can enjoy the session at the same pace. While in house wait staff can sometimes assist us, it’s best to have some volunteers on hand in case they have other obligations during that time.
Handouts:
I will email handout masters to you 30 days prior to the event, which you can reproduce and distribute to audience members in their exact format.
Book Signings:
It’s amazing the power that even brief personal conversations after an event can have on audience members, crystallizing commitment and motivating them to act on what they have just learned. This is why I love book signings!
Please allow 20-30 minutes or more to give everyone an opportunity for one-on-one encounters.
Please provide a six-foot table near the entrance of the room for the books.
During our initial conference call we can confirm whether you will be purchasing books, or whether you prefer to have me handle books separately. Please provide 1 volunteer to assist me during the book signing.
It is my pleasure to donate a complimentary copy of my book to your event-for use as a raffle, a fun incentive, or perhaps as a thank you gift to a conference organizer.
