Yes – but make these requests early and understand they may affect pricing. Many speakers are willing to add extra value (like participating in a VIP dinner, doing a breakout session, or joining a panel) if asked in advance. These extras should be negotiated during the booking process, not the week of the event. Also, keep in mind that additional duties require additional preparation (and time on site), so budget accordingly. If you spring an extra task last-minute, don’t be surprised if the speaker declines or requests an extra fee – it’s not due to unwillingness, but fairness and practical scheduling.
