Public speaking in Germany

Are you planning a speaking tour around Europe? For most European speakers, Germany is a must with the highest fee levels in Europe. Speaking gigs in Germany pay almost three times as much as gigs in The Netherlands and Denmark.

However, these numbers do not apply if you are a woman, as Germany has a low parity-level for a European country.

Either way, you will still be paid more than in Denmark and The Netherlands, so there’s no reason to avoid Germany on your tour.

With a population of almost 83 million, Germany makes up more than 11% of the entire population of Europe. Throughout history, Germany has invented some of the most useful items ever from; The car to laundry detergent, from aspirin to teabags (you are welcome Britain).

Rich on culture and gorgeous scenery, Germany is an old country with some of the most beautiful architecture in Europe. They take great pride in their food and beers, making them a great country to tour in, during and after your speaking gigs.
