When a client/booker adds a testimonial about you, we do a basic check if it meets our Terms of use and publish it on your profile.

To get a ‘verified’ badge next to the testimonial, the client/booker must provide the reviewer’s business email (cannot be Gmail, Hotmail or similar) and they must confirm that they in fact endorsed the speaker in question.

Clients can upload a logo or image related to review on submission.

Cancelling the subscription/upgrade/payment means the account remains intact but you lose access to certain features (such as the display of video/location/PDF downloads, social links etc on the speaker profile, but even these media contents remain in the account, they just don’t show up on the public profile page without being upgraded).

Organizers can be companies looking for speakers or workshop trainers for their corporate events, conference organizers seeking your expertise, global events lining up presenters on business, medical, IT or any other topic, schools and universities looking for volunteer speakers for their students, or any other event manager who wants to have someone with expertise and great speaking skills.

Only visible to paid subscribers and listings:

• Once an event organiser or bureau has created and listed an event this will be published directly to the pitching board tab.
• If you are suitable for the event requirements then simply complete the form in the application calendar.
• The calendar includes 30 daily applications during the period before submissions close.
• Choose any time slot and complete with your details and click submit.
• The submission goes directly to the organiser who created the event pitching board and they will follow up directly.
• Shortlisting and acceptance is done directly by the organiser with you.
• If you are selected ensure booking is done through your profile to ensure reviews and event reminders are updated accordingly.
• If you do not hear from the organiser it would be correct to assume you have not been chosen or shortlisted and WeSpeak is not responsible for any correspondence between parties.
• WeSpeak can not control when pitching board events are listed but will ensure they are made available once submitted.
