Speakerbase

Speakerbase is a web-based platform that serves as a centralized directory and management system for professional speakers and their talks. It aggregates speaker profiles, talk metadata, and event information, enabling organizers, venues, and audiences to discover relevant speaking talent and manage speaking engagements. The system typically supports profiles containing a biography, areas of expertise, languages, availability, contact methods, and a portfolio of talks, presentations, and media links. Talks are described with titles, abstracts, duration, target audience, level, and tags, and may include attached slides, video recordings, or transcripts.

Users can search by topics, location, language, or level, and refine results with filters. Event organizers can publish calls for proposals, add talks to a proposal system, and connect with speakers through built-in messaging or contact details. Speakers and agents can create and maintain profiles, submit talks to events, and track engagement metrics such as views or inquiries. Often, Speakerbase offers an API or data export options to integrate with other event management or CRM systems, and may support content licensing and attribution.

The platform emphasizes data quality and privacy, relying on user-generated content moderated by community or administrators. It aims to facilitate discovery, reduce outreach time for organizers, and help speakers reach new audiences while providing a record of speaking engagements and performance metrics.
