AI Speaker Booking

More paid stages. Without the application grind.

A good human applies to about ten good conferences a week. Our AI-powered process can apply to hundreds a month for one speaker — and gets you in front of the people who choose the lineup.

TL;DR

Sakaya’s AI speaker booking applies to paid conferences for you at scale — hundreds a month for one speaker, up to around 300 — while reaching each event’s decision-makers by email and LinkedIn. Built for paid speakers, authors and experts.

The problem

Why don’t manual applications scale?

Every application takes real time — finding the event, checking fit, writing the pitch, filling the form, following up. Even a strong assistant tops out at roughly ten a week. When the volume is capped by human hours, your calendar is too.

How does AI speaker booking work?

Sakaya’s speaker booking process uses AI to find and apply to paid conferences at a scale no person can match. A strong human assistant might apply to about ten good conferences a week; our process can apply to hundreds a month for a single speaker — up to around 300. At the same time, it sends one to two personalized emails and one to two LinkedIn messages to each conference’s decision-makers, so your application does not sit in a pile. You approve the positioning; the system does the volume.

Who is AI speaker booking for?

It is built for people who get paid to speak, or want to: professional keynote speakers, authors with a book to promote, consultants and industry experts, and founders who use the stage to win clients. It works best when you already have a clear topic and some proof — a book, past talks, a reel or a track record in your field. If you are earlier than that, we will tell you on the call what to have in place first.

How much does Sakaya cost?

Pricing is tailored to each company and shared on a discovery call. It depends on your size, how many departments are involved, and how much implementation and training you want us to handle. Consulting engagements start with a paid AI Opportunity Audit, followed by a monthly retainer if you continue. Speaker booking and AI video are scoped separately. On the call we will learn what you need and give you a clear proposal — no surprises.
