We've been helping emerging speakers for 24 years!
You came here because you want more speaking opportunity. This page will show you exactly what SpeakerMatch gives you, how it works, and which plan is the best fit for where you are right now.
Create your profile, access real opportunities, get discovered
by event organizers, and grow with guidance that moves you forward.
SpeakerMatch is designed to help you spend less time guessing, less time chasing the wrong leads, and more time building a visible, credible speaking business that can actually grow.
GET LEADS
A speaking career feels very different when opportunities start coming to you instead of always being something you have to chase. Our team researches and posts hundreds of open calls for speakers each month, with contact information and filtering tools to help you focus on the right matches.
Our research shows about 7,000 events per day in the U.S. have a speaker in front of an audience. The hard part is finding the opportunities that work for you. SpeakerMatch makes that process much easier, saving you time, headaches, and money.
We can't guarantee you'll close every deal, but we can make the time you spend pursuing leads much more productive.
GET FOUND
SpeakerMatch helps put you in front of event organizers who are actively looking for speakers. That means you are not left trying to do all the hunting on your own. When you are visible in the right place, you give yourself a better chance of being discovered, considered, and contacted.
We've got over 20 years of experience helping speakers create profiles that resonate with event organizers. Instead of standing on the outside hoping someone notices you, you start putting yourself where opportunities can happen.
LOOK PROFESSIONAL
When an event organizer looks at you online, you want them to understand very quickly who you are, what you speak about, and why you may be a fit. Your SpeakerMatch profile gives you a polished place to present your topics, expertise, testimonials, media, downloadable resources, and other credibility-building details.
Instead of feeling scattered or hard to pin down, you can present yourself in a way that looks more polished, more credible, and easier to understand. That can make a strong first impression that helps open doors.
GROW YOUR BUSINESS
If you want speaking to become something real and sustainable, you need more than one booking. You need smart guidance that helps you build over time. SpeakerMatch gives you more than a listing. You also receive practical ideas, resources, and insights to help you strengthen your business month after month.
You'll also receive Behind the Podium, our weekly publication packed with tips, resources, and business-building advice, plus access to educational content designed to help you keep growing.
The process is simple. You build your presence, screen the right opportunities, pursue the best-fit leads, and keep strengthening your business over time.
