Why SpeakUp Has No Competitors
The World's First All-in-One Ecosystem for the Speaking Industry
The Problem With "Speaker Platforms" Today
Let's be honest — most "speaker platforms" aren't platforms.
They're static directories or outdated agency lists built for the pre-AI era.
They don't offer analytics, automation, feedback, or any form of real community.
That's why SpeakUp was born — to completely rebuild the industry from the ground up.
We don't connect people.
We build the entire ecosystem that helps speakers and organizers grow — together.
We're Not a Platform — We're an Ecosystem
SpeakUp is more than a place to find speakers.
It's a full-cycle environment that supports everyone in the speaking industry —
from conferences and summits to podcasts, journalists, and personal brands.
Here's what makes us different:
AI-Matching
instantly connects the right speakers and organizers
In-App Chat & Booking
no emails, no waiting, no intermediaries
Smart Calendar
for scheduling single or multi-speaker panels
Feedback Loop
both organizers and speakers can rate each other
Achievements System
earn badges for milestones (first talk, 10+ events, media mentions, etc.)
Growth Marketplace
services, tools, and discounts to grow your brand
Big Industry Reports
annual analytics for active users — real data, not assumptions
No one else offers a connected ecosystem — because no one else built one from scratch.
Events and Requests — Two Sides of the Same Network
Unlike other platforms, SpeakUp supports both types of publishing:
Events
for conferences, summits, and forums with multiple sessions
Requests
for targeted opportunities like podcasts, panels, and interviews
Organizers, journalists, and podcasters can:
Post an open or private request
Approve speakers manually or automatically
Start a chat instantly when a match happens
It's fast, transparent, and human — powered by AI.
Real Feedback — Both Ways
Every collaboration on SpeakUp ends with feedback —
and not only from organizers.
Speakers can also rate events, organizers, and media partners.
This two-way review system creates accountability and trust, reducing spam and low-quality bookings.
You're not just building your profile — you're building your reputation.
Achievements and Recognition
SpeakUp turns progress into motivation.
Each user — speaker or organizer — can earn achievements such as:
"First Booking"
"Top Rated Speaker"
"100 Positive Reviews"
"Featured on Media"
"Community Ambassador"
Achievements help professionals stand out in search and add gamification to growth. Your journey is visible, rewarded, and meaningful.
Growth Marketplace — Built for Progress
The Growth Marketplace is our signature innovation.
It's the first marketplace focused entirely on speaker and organizer growth, featuring eight powerful categories:
| Category | Examples |
|---|---|
| PR & Media | Press coverage, podcast producers, influencer agencies |
| Speaker Growth & Coaching | Speaker academies, voice coaches, personal branding |
| Production & Visual Content | Video production, photography, presentations |
| Venues & Event Rentals | Studios, conference halls, exhibition spaces |
| Event Organization Services | Agencies, translators, sponsorship brokers |
| Event Marketing & Promotion | Ads, SMM, SEO, content for events |
| Business Services | Legal, finance, insurance, contracts |
| Additional Services | Assistants, ghostwriters, CRM tools |
The more discount a partner offers to SpeakUp users, the lower the cost of publishing their listing on the marketplace — creating a win-win growth economy.
Annual "Big Reports" — Real Analytics, Not Guesswork
Every year, SpeakUp publishes an Industry Big Report —
a deep, data-driven analysis of what's really happening in the global speaking market. We analyze millions of data points:
Which topics and industries are trending
What event formats are growing fastest
Where speakers get booked most
Which languages and regions show the biggest demand
Only verified users with completed profiles receive full access — for free.
And anyone who contributes data through their activity becomes part of the SpeakUp Ambassador Program, helping shape the trends of tomorrow.
Other companies guess. We measure, analyze, and share — for everyone's growth.
AI, Not Agents
Agencies charge 20–25% commissions.
We charge 0% — because AI does the matchmaking. SpeakUp's algorithms learn from:
Event categories
Topic keywords
Engagement and past performance
Audience type and location
This makes booking instant, fair, and transparent — without middlemen.
If you can book a villa in another country in 45 seconds, why should finding a speaker take weeks?
Why Others Can't Catch Up
Competitors aren't slow — they're stuck in the wrong model.
They were built for manual management, not automation.
Adding AI now is like putting a rocket engine on a paper plane.
SpeakUp was born AI-native, built on data, automation, and global scalability. Every part — from AI Matching to the Growth Marketplace — works as one living system.
By the time they copy what we have, we'll already be analyzing the next decade.
Final Thoughts
SpeakUp isn't trying to be "another speaker app."
It's redefining the speaking industry — creating a transparent, data-driven ecosystem where every user, from new speakers to top organizers, can grow and collaborate.
