Transforming how speakers get booked

At Talkadot, we are building the speaker booking platform that makes the industry work better for everyone. We use real audience feedback and data-driven insights to help speakers get booked for the right events and help planners find and book proven speakers with confidence. Our goal is simple: reduce the guesswork so you can focus on what you do best -- creating unforgettable experiences on stage or behind the scenes.

Our Story

Booking speakers has always been harder than it should be.



As event planners, we’ve felt how opaque and time-consuming it can be to find and book the right speaker. The process takes so much effort that great opportunities are sometimes missed.  

As speakers, we’ve lived the frustration of giving a great talk and then having to start from scratch to find the next one.


Talkadot is changing that.



We began by collecting real audience feedback to create data that brings clarity and trust to the industry. Today, that data powers a speaker booking platform that helps planners find proven speakers with confidence and helps speakers get booked through results, not guesswork.


We’re still building, still improving, and still driven by the same mission --to make speaking a repeatable, data-driven, and thriving business for everyone on both sides of the stage.
