Bureaus take 20–30% of speaker fees. SpeakUp doesn't. The price you negotiate with the speaker is the price you pay. We make money on subscriptions, not bookings — and that's permanent, not a trial.
Instead of pitching you whoever's on a roster, our AI matches based on your specific event needs. Topic relevance, audience size, language, format, location, budget. Hours, not weeks.
