Where our speakers have taken the stage
Getting discovered isn’t luck. It’s what happens when the right expertise is positioned for the right room. The speakers who fill their calendar do it smarter.
The speaking industry is massive and growing. We scout conferences and events to surface the stages worth your time, so you spend your hours pitching, not hunting.
Your thoughts, your perspectives and your experience are incredibly valuable, and the world is waiting to hear what you have to say.
You’ve been doing this for years.
You’ve waited long enough.
There’s a stage out there with your name on it.

Ways the platform turns your experience into
You spent a lifetime earning what you know. Here is how that becomes the rooms you belong in: the right stages find you, the right rooms learn your name, and you show up ready when they do.
The right stages find you
Stages watches conferences, summits and calls for speakers, then brings you the ones that fit your topics and your calendar.
Be the name they already know
The organizers you want are searching for who to book. Stages shows you where you stand today, and the specific moves to become the name on your topic.
Show up ready
Your page, your story and your pitch, prepared before an organizer ever asks. When they look you up, they see your value right away.
We handle the hard part.

Got questions? We got answers
How does Stages find matching opportunities?
Stages indexes conferences, corporate events, podcasts, and summits, then scores each one 0-100 against your profile based on your topics, expertise, and preferences. Only high-fit opportunities surface in your feed.
What is auto-submit?
Auto-submit applies to speaking opportunities on your behalf. It writes a tailored pitch for each one and submits it by email or form, up to 30 per month. Nothing sends until you approve it.
How much does Stages cost?
Stages Pro is $197/mo, or $1,997/yr (save $367 a year). Founding members lock in $1,182/yr, 50% off the annual equivalent, for as long as they stay. All features are included: opportunity discovery, auto-submit, search visibility, pipeline tracking, and more. One plan, everything included.
What kinds of speaking opportunities are included?
Conferences, corporate keynotes, workshops, podcasts, association events, panels, summits, and media appearances. Filter by format, audience size, and more.
How is Stages different from a speaking bureau?
Stages isn’t a bureau and takes no commission. Bureaus promote only the speakers they represent. Stages works for you, and the relationship with every organizer is yours.
Do I have to build my profile from scratch?
No. Paste your LinkedIn or website and Stages drafts your full speaker profile (bio, topics, talks, and press) in about a minute. You approve every word. From then on your media kit, speaker card, and public page update themselves, so you never re-export a PDF again.
How do I know if my name comes up when organizers search my topic?
Organizers search before they book, and the expert whose name comes up wins the booking before a pitch is ever read. Stages shows you where you stand for your topics and gives you the specific moves to strengthen it: keywords, content, mentions, and footprint. We show you where you stand and what to do about it; we do not promise a placement.
How do organizers find me?
Event organizers search this database by topic, compare speakers, and build shortlists. A complete profile means you come up when they do, and your profile is built so search engines can actually read it, so you show up beyond the platform too.
Do I need to be an established speaker to join?
No. Stages is built for working experts (operators, authors, consultants) with real expertise and a thin speaking résumé. The profile bootstrap and guided next steps exist precisely so you can compete without an agent or a famous name.
