Speaking opportunities are everywhere.
Finding them is the problem.

Conference websites. LinkedIn posts. TEDx pages. Industry associations. Calls for speakers buried three clicks deep.

Stage Seeker’s team of researchers brings the opportunities together in one place, so you can spend less time searching and more time applying, getting on stages, building your platform and getting your message heard by the people who need to hear it.

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 we don't want Stage Seeker to become another subscription you sign up for, forget about and keep paying for every month. Building a speaking platform takes consistency, and Stage Seeker is built to make that consistency easier, not to be one more thing on a list of subscriptions you barely use.

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.
