Get lifetime access insteadWhy no monthly plan? One month isn’t long enough to build a speaking career. Deadlines often close months before an event, and the right opportunity might not show up in your first 30 days. Longer memberships give you time to find stages, apply and build momentum, and we’d rather not be another subscription you pay for and rarely use.

Questions
What is Stage Seeker?
Stage Seeker is a searchable platform that brings speaking opportunities from around the world into one place.
Our research team, which is composed of AI and real humans, does the searching so you can spend less time hunting through conference websites, LinkedIn posts and endless Google searches, and more time applying, speaking and getting your message heard by the person that needs to hear it.
What kind of speaking opportunities will I find?
We list conferences, TEDx, retreats, summits, panels, workshops and other speaking opportunities across a wide range of industries and topics.
You'll find paid, unpaid and pay-to-speak opportunities, and we'll always try to make this clear on the listing when the information is available.
How often are new opportunities added?
We're constantly looking for new opportunities and adding them to Stage Seeker.
Our team searches event websites, associations, calls for speakers and other sources so you don't have to. We also keep an eye on existing listings and update them when we become aware that something has changed. There is a live tracker so you can see how many new opportunities have been added in a week.
Are all opportunities paid?
No. Stage Seeker includes paid, unpaid and pay-to-speak opportunities. Every listing should be clearly classified wherever the information is available.
Why doesn't Stage Seeker offer a monthly membership?
Because one month of searching isn't enough to build a speaking career.
Speaking opportunities open and close throughout the year, often with application deadlines months before the event. The right opportunity for you might not appear in your first 30 days.
We offer longer-term memberships because we want you to have the time to discover opportunities, submit applications and build momentum, without feeling rushed.
We also don't want to become another monthly subscription you pay for but rarely use.
Stage Seeker isn't about collecting subscriptions. It's about finding stages, opening doors and getting your voice heard by the person who needs to hear your message.
What is the Founding Member offer?
The first 200 Founding Members can purchase lifetime access for a one-time payment of $197. After the 200 places are sold, lifetime access ends and the standard membership price becomes $297 per year.
