Frequently asked questions
How do I request a keynote, team-building event, or program from Afterburner?
Submit the form on this page or book a discovery call through “Chat to a Pilot.” Both routes land with the Afterburner team within one business day. A pilot matched to your engagement type leads the discovery call. By the end of the 30-minute call, you have a scoped engagement or a clear next step.
What information should I include in my inquiry?
Five things help the team scope quickly: the audience (who and how many), the format (keynote, team building, leadership program), the date and city, the outcome you want, and your budget envelope. A range is fine on budget. The more specific the inquiry, the faster the team can route to the right pilot and format.
How quickly does the Afterburner team respond?
Within one business day. US inquiries route to the Coral Gables team, AU and APAC inquiries route to the North Sydney team. A pilot matched to your engagement type reads what you wrote, flags the right format, and replies. For time-sensitive bookings (under four weeks out), flag the urgency in the inquiry and the response moves up.
How do I book Afterburner through a speaker bureau?
Speaker bureaus inquire through the form or the dedicated Speaker Bureau Portal at /speaker-bureau-portal/. The portal carries the commission structure, talent agreement framework, rider preferences, and bureau-only resources. The Afterburner team has worked with bureau partners for 30+ years across 3,500+ organizations, so the workflow is established. Include the booking client and proposed date in the initial inquiry.
Who is Christian “Boo” Boucousis and how do I book him directly?
Christian “Boo” Boucousis is CEO of Afterburner, a former Royal Australian Air Force F/A-18 fighter pilot with 1,000+ missions, and the author of The Afterburner Advantage. To book him directly for a keynote, speaking engagement, or executive briefing, submit through the form or “Chat to a Pilot” and flag the request. His calendar is managed by the Afterburner events team.
Can I book the Top Gun Experience℠ or LEGO Challenge separately?
Yes. Both are bookable as standalone team-building engagements or as components inside a larger program. The Top Gun Experience is the flagship simulation; the LEGO Challenge is the lower-cost, faster-to-run alternative for newer teams. Both have been delivered to 3,500+ organizations. Flag which one (or “help me decide”) in the inquiry and the right pilot leads the discovery call.
Does Afterburner deliver events outside North America?
Yes. Afterburner has delivered events on six continents over 30+ years, with permanent offices in Coral Gables (US) and North Sydney (AU). The AU office handles APAC, ANZ, and the broader Asia-Pacific region. The US office handles North America, EMEA, and Latin America. For events outside both regions, the closest office leads.
