CHECK AVAILABILITY

Direct booking · no bureau markup · reply within 24 business hours
WHAT HAPPENS AFTER YOU PRESS SEND
Three steps. None of them waste your time.
Clear communication, zero back-and-forth fluff, and guaranteed fast turnarounds from first contact to date confirmation.
01
You get a real answer on the date
Within 24 business hours, you receive a direct yes or no regarding Michael's diary availability for your required event slot. No vague holds or automated delays.
02
A twenty-minute briefing call
We hop on a focused call to discuss your exact audience profile, event theme, desired takeaways, and precise run of show requirements.
03
A written quote and a held date
You receive an itemized, transparent quotation. The date is held in Michael's calendar for 7 business days while your team completes approval and contract sign-off.
"Dates are strictly reserved on a first-come, first-served basis upon contract completion. We hold tentative dates for 7 days post-briefing so you have complete peace of mind to plan."
PRIMARY LEAD CAPTURE
Got a date in mind?
Seven questions. It takes about ninety seconds, and it gives me enough to answer you properly instead of replying to ask what you meant.
By submitting you agree that Michael may contact you about this enquiry. Details are held by CCLEATS (Pty) Ltd t/a Meet Michael Bowen - see our privacy notice.

PLANNING AHEAD
March to May 2027 is being decided now.
If your committee or leadership team is currently mapping keynote slots or master of ceremonies roles for 2027 conferences, placing a provisional hold on Michael Bowen's calendar costs nothing and carries zero contractual obligation.
I would rather hold a tentative date that you eventually release than have you reach out when the conference schedule has closed and the date is no longer available. Pencil in your target week early while you finalize the program.
