The Speaking Engagement Agreement serves as a crucial legal framework for professional speaking arrangements in India, ensuring clear understanding and protection of both parties' interests. This document is essential when engaging speakers for conferences, seminars, workshops, corporate events, or educational programs. It addresses key aspects such as speaking fees, intellectual property rights, recording permissions, and logistical requirements, while ensuring compliance with Indian legal requirements including the Indian Contract Act, 1872, GST regulations, and relevant intellectual property laws. The agreement is particularly important in today's context where speaking engagements may occur in various formats (in-person, virtual, or hybrid) and often involve complex arrangements regarding content rights, recordings, and multi-platform distribution.
