What Speakers are saying…
“As an industry speaker and conference organizer, I see a real benefit to building a marketplace that better connects those harder to find industry speakers with global events. Speakerfile is an exciting development for the industry. It’s a great way for organizations to better showcase their experts.”
Volker Hirsch
Director, Business Development, Research in Motion
“Having a speakers bureau for our organization has been a great way to generate more market visibility. But it has always been a challenge for us to find the best speaking opportunities and events before the deadlines closed. Within days of joining Speakerfile, I was able to send inquiries to a number of events that were great opportunities for our executives. Speakerfile is simply amazing. It’s going to improve the quality of events, make event planning easier, and give experts the opportunity to build relationships on a global scale that would never have otherwise been possible.”
Cara Posey
Director of Marketing, Signature Worldwide
“Signed up for Speakerfile a few weeks ago and already got booked as a panelist just by filling out my speaking profile. It’s a unique concept allowing me to browse through different speaking opportunities and inquire directly with the event planner. Really love how I can upload video, audio, and my slides as it helps event organizers to confidently book me.”
Jon Arnold
Telecom Analyst & Strategy Consultant
“Speakerfile is an outstanding business that services a much needed segment of the market. Never before could you search online for open speaking events. This is a powerful tool of self-representation as a speaker, plus it allows me to connect directly to the event planner on specific speaking gigs!”

What Event Organizers are saying…
“Speakerfile is a fantastic new way to find talented speakers for our events. I’ve now booked 2 speakers using the platform. It’s especially helpful for sourcing harder to find industry experts who aren’t listed with bureaus. It only took minutes to create my conference profile and to start making confidential connections. It’s so simple to use and as an event planner having a platform when speakers can reach out to you is awesome. The way the system is designed really saves me time. As a free service it’s simply amazing. I already have plans to use Speakerfile for other upcoming events.”
Allison Fisher
Director of Programs and Educational Outreach
TechAlliance of Southwestern Ontario
“We will be using Speakerfile to manage speakers for our upcoming global conferences in Prague and India. It’s a great way to connect with experts who otherwise would not have known about our organization. Speakerfile can also help us quickly evaluate proposals from speakers on the right dimensions important to our attendees. It will be a major time saver as we develop and enhance our global programs.”

“It’s ironic that so much of the attention on social networks is non-professional. The power of an expert network that gives you access to both established speakers and new, talented up and comers with something to say…now that’s incredibly valuable to people who organize professional events. In my dual roles as a conference organizer and keynote speaker, I can instantly see the value of Speakerfile’s tools for evaluating and promoting the speakers that really deliver for audiences”

“Our Mobile Monday events draw top corporate sponsorships and 300-400 attendees per month. But, like many volunteer based organizations with a small staff, it takes a lot of work to discover and evaluate new corporate speakers. Speakerfile is one of the most exciting developments we’ve seen in the events industry for some time. We can’t wait to start booking speakers.”
