Verified voices, a published 17.5%, and a curated shortlist in 24 hours. No account, no sales call.
Booking a speaker through a legacy bureau usually means three things you can't see: which names were pushed because of a relationship, what margin sits on top of the fee, and whether anyone actually checked the person. We built iShruti so all three are visible from the first email.
The model is deliberately simple. One published commission - 17.5% of the speaker fee, printed inside the price you're quoted. No opaque markups, no pay-to-play placement, and no roster inflated with names nobody has verified. Legacy bureaus take 20–25% with hidden margins; we don't.
A human curates your shortlist within 24 hours of your brief. You get bios, reels, real fees, and availability - then you choose, with no account to create and no sales call to sit through. We handle the contract, scheduling, and payment, and the 8/10 guarantee sits behind whoever you pick.
One published number. Every speaker checked.
Not a rolodex with a markup. A curated roster where the commission is printed, the verification is individual, and a human builds your shortlist in 24 hours.

Get a shortlistTell us the format and we shortlist for it. Panels and emcees turn on chemistry as much as credentials, and a workshop is judged on what changes on Monday - so we brief for each differently. Same 24-hour shortlist, same published 17.5%, whichever you pick.
A single authoritative voice to open, anchor, or close the room. The default format, in person or on stage-plus-stream.
See keynotes →The difference between a memorable panel and a pleasant blur is the person in the middle. Book a moderator, or a full curated table.
See panels & moderators →Someone has to hold the whole day together - agenda, energy, and the transitions nobody notices until they go wrong.
See emcees & hosts →A talk inspires for an hour; a workshop changes Monday. Hands-on sessions with a facilitator vetted for teaching, not just speaking.
See workshops →Your stage is a screen now, so book like it. Live virtual keynotes with moderated Q&A, through to multi-session series.
See virtual & hybrid →Speaker cancelled or the date moved up? A verified replacement within 72 hours, at standard fees - we do not add a surge charge to your bad day.
See rush replacement →Booking all year rather than one event? A placement retainer starts at $2,000 a month.

verified speakers, real prices, in 24 hours
contracts, payment, and logistics handled
Five questions every organizer asks - tap one.
Three ways: our commission is published rather than buried, every speaker is individually verified rather than listed on reputation, and the roster is built for the AI era rather than recycled from the 2010s circuit. You see the same fee we do.
Curation and shortlisting, contracting, payment handling, scheduling logistics, and the guarantee behind the booking. It's charged on the speaker fee and printed inside the number you're quoted - there is no separate agency fee.
Within 24 hours of a completed brief, curated by a person rather than a filter. Rush replacements move faster; the 72-hour promise applies when a confirmed speaker cancels.
No. The brief takes about two minutes and requires no account and no sales call. You'll hear from a human, not a sequence.
If a speaker cancels, we deliver a vetted replacement within 72 hours or refund everything paid through us for that booking. If the session is rated below 8/10 by your audience, our commission is refunded.
Yes. Keynotes are the default, not the limit - we also book moderators and full panels, emcees to host the day, hands-on workshops, and virtual or hybrid sessions. A panel turns on chemistry and a workshop on teaching ability, so we brief and shortlist for each differently rather than sending the same names to every request.
Rather we just figure it out for you?
