Using the Search Bar

The search bar changes based on which tab you're on:

All tab
Searches topics, industries, keywords, and opportunity details. Try terms like "Healthcare," "AI," or "Leadership."

Contacts tab
Searches by name or job title. Try "Events Director" or a specific person's name.

Toggle tabs above to change what you're searching.

Pro tip: Keep search terms simple — use "leadership" not "transformational leadership for emerging leaders in tech." One strong keyword beats a complicated phrase every time.

Coming Soon
Live Events Feed
Our events database is getting a major upgrade. Soon you'll have access to a real-time activity feed that monitors conferences and summits as they announce speakers, open CFPs, and update programming. No more stale data — you'll see changes as they happen and get first-mover advantage on new speaking opportunities.

Event Agencies
We're adding a dedicated filter for event agencies — organizations that book speakers on behalf of their clients. The Composer will generate tailored messaging for agency outreach, positioning you as a resource for their client programs rather than pitching a specific event.

Mix and match filters to build your perfect opportunity list. The more specific you get, the more targeted your outreach becomes.
