We want to be sensitive to each host's limitations and help you present an invitation in a way that is most respectful of both your resources and the speaker's constraints and tight schedule. By completing the invitation below, we can give the speaker the best context to decide if they've got room in their schedule to accept a low-fee or gratis offer. The full content of your invitation will be reviewed by the author, and if accepted, they'll work with you directly to arrange the visit.
