Leade.rs - Leaders matches event organizers with speakers in tech.

Hi everyone, our small team at Leade.rs has been working on this product for event organizers to book speakers. This is just a start, a collection of hundreds of great speakers in tech with >50% women and we care about all forms of diversity. Very simple for now but we are going to keep updating it based on feedback! Thanks.

Awesome to see this out there, @loic. I remember when we first spoke about Leaders nearly two years ago. It's evolved quite a bit since then, built to solve a real hole in the industry for both speakers and organizers. Here's my profile. 😊 I'm curious what you decided on the monetization / business model?

Been following the platform since it's conception couple years ago. Glad to see it finally come to life 🤗

It'd be awesome if I could see the events where these speakers are giving talks at and booking tickets right from Leade.rs would be an added bonus 💯

Pros:

Unmatchable portfolio of speakers ✨

Cons:

Showcasing events powered by Leade.rs would be great 🙌

Congrats on the launch @loic! Glad to see this out, finally! 🙏 Can't wait to see the events that come out of this; do you have any plans to showcase the events your speakers are speaking at? Maybe broadcast it on the platform too? Been following this ever since your live broadcast with @rrhoover long ago (which you should do more often btw) 😅

Very pure UI and impressive set of speakers! Great work!

Great work @loic and the Leade.rs team! When it comes to events, I think simple is good. Too often platforms in this space become bloated to address every organizer's/speaker's use case. I love the Leade.rs profile video from the speakers. This will certainly be a breath of fresh air for everyone involved 🙂

Are all speakers paid or will some speak for free (or in return for travel costs etc). Would be cool to filter that kind of info ahead of the invite @loic (I run a 1000+ startup person conference in Sweden but since tickets are free we struggle with large speaker fees, so normally pay for travel/hotels for overseas guests which tends to work quite a bit of the time)

Curation is key in today's event industry. Leade.rs solves this problem and provides value to both speakers and event organizers. Everything works perfectly on this V1 and I can't wait to see the next features! Congratulations :)

Pros:

Made by tech event organizers

Cons:

Featuring curators

I'm impressed by this first release. As an event organizer myself, I know how painful it is to find relevant speakers, confirm their participation and collect feedback from their experience. What was a niche market some years ago is now becoming mainstream as everyone wants to be a speaker nowadays. This is a fantastic opportunity for @loic and his team to transform the event industry for the better. Can't wait to see it happen!

Congrats to @loic on the launch of Leade.rs, the best platform for speakers to be booked and for conference organizers, meeting planners, and anyone to book an awesome speaker!
