SpeakUp

SpeakUp lets organizers search 70,000+ verified speaker profiles, post a structured speaker call describing their event format, audience, topic, language, and budget, and receive AI-ranked matches. Organizers can message matches in-app or on web, negotiate rates, and confirm bookings directly without a bureau intermediary. Speakers can create profiles and get matched with speaking opportunities. The platform offers native iOS and Android apps, and the page states it is used in 28+ countries. The page says most organizers receive a shortlist within 24 hours and that the platform does not take commissions on bookings; revenue is described as coming from subscriptions. A Starter plan is described as free, with paid plans unlocking the full catalog, chat, and analytics.
