Celebrity speakers get much higher fees than speakers within a field speaking to the field (unless someone’s both). I’ve talked to a couple of the people who I’d regard as celebrity speakers *within* librarianship, and got “$1,500 plus expenses, but I’ll negotiate” and “I don’t accept fees” as answers. It’s a different field; the survey may add a little transparency, but not bring most of us five-digit fees.
