A standing pipeline and a curator who knows your program. Real prices upfront, shortlist in 24 hours.
Most speaker sourcing happens in a panic. An event lands on the calendar, someone starts googling, and three weeks later the shortlist is whoever answered. That cycle repeats every quarter, and the quality of your program ends up depending on how much time you happened to have that month.
A retainer replaces the scramble with a standing pipeline. A dedicated curator learns your brand, your audiences, and the themes you keep returning to — so shortlists arrive already filtered through what your organization actually books, not what's simply available this week.
We serve organizations running events all year: associations with recurring programs, enterprises with a full internal calendar, and agencies who need a bench behind them. Retainers are monthly, and the fee is separate from speaker fees — you still see every fee printed upfront.
A curator who already knows your program.
Not a vendor you re-brief every quarter. A dedicated curator holds context on your brand, audiences, and calendar year-round — with fees printed upfront.

Year-round context means shortlists arrive faster, and sometimes before you formally ask.

Five questions every organizer asks — tap one.
Per-booking is reactive: you brief us when an event appears. A retainer is proactive: a curator holds context on your brand and calendar year-round, so shortlists arrive faster, better matched, and often before you've formally asked.
As a rough guide, teams running several events a quarter get value from Curator; a busy multi-event calendar suits Partner; high-volume or high-stakes programs suit Embedded. If you're booking two or three speakers a year, per-booking is the honest answer.
No. The retainer covers sourcing, curation, and planning. Speaker fees are separate and always shown transparently, with our 17.5% printed inside them.
Tiers can move up or down as your calendar changes — the quarterly review exists partly for that. Tell us what shifted and we'll re-scope rather than hold you to a plan that no longer fits.
Curated shortlists with bios, reels, fees, and availability, delivered async. Higher tiers add unlimited shortlists, priority sourcing for hard briefs, strategy sessions, fee benchmarking, and — at Embedded — a named team with a defined response SLA.

Get a shortlist$2,000 per month for Curator, $3,500 for Partner, and $5,000 for Embedded. Speaker fees are separate and always printed transparently.
We scope terms per organization rather than forcing a standard lock-in. Tell us your calendar and we'll propose something proportional, which you approve before anything starts.
A dedicated curator at Curator and Partner; a named team with a defined response SLA at Embedded.
Delivery is async by default so it doesn't add to your meeting load. Partner adds a quarterly strategy session, and Embedded builds the annual calendar with your team.
We individually check identity, real work, and stage skill. Every speaker. No exceptions.
If your audience rates it below 8/10, our commission is refunded. See the guarantee page for how it's measured.
