New Platform Aimed at Solving Problems for Speakers and Organizers

• 

We are excited to introduce a tool to solve some of the confusion and headache between Speakers and Show Organizers.

Austin, TX (PRWEB) April 03, 2014

For professional speakers, standing up in front of thousands of people is the easy part. The real problem is delivering their carefully-prepared presentations to show organizers and the audience. Presentations tend to be image and video rich, making email impossible. Resorting to FTP or Dropbox can be inconsistent and inefficient. This task in the real world can become complicated at a time when speakers need to concentrate on preparing for their performances.

The process is just as troublesome for meeting and conference organizers who are responsible for planning every aspect of their events. Their jobs depend on coordinating all the different requirements of their speakers. At the same time, they usually like to review presentations to check them for consistency and to see if they will work on the equipment for the session. If materials aren’t received until the last minute, the speaker often has to go live without the benefit of review. Organizers also have a large need for content not limited to presentations, including things like bios, profile pictures and handouts. Unfortunately, there is no system delegated to housing and organizing this information.

Fortunately, SpeakerStack is a new platform built specifically for Speakers and Organizers. It’s targeting a specific gap in current offerings and providers to help alleviate the time and headaches that go in to being both a speaker and conference organizer. SpeakerStack was developed by a team that has been working in the industry for years and made it their job to solve some of the gaps that have become so prevalent.

SpeakerStack represents a new kind of virtual space where speakers can upload collateral or connect to repositories like Dropbox, Box, Google Drive, Skydrive, and other common locations for content. All their materials for audience engagement are online and ready to go. Speakers can create profiles pulling their information from their social networks so that they don’t need to recreate it for each show or engagement.

Organizers using a portal, mobile app, or website can also connect to an API to get their information in a more dynamic way which was previously not possible. Show organizers can upload a spreadsheet of speakers with all their session information which map to the profiles of specific speakers in the system. They will also be able to monitor progress, view documents, approve presentations, and export it all from SpeakerStack. SpeakerStack can be integrated with existing show management software and technologies via APIs, bringing real-time data access to show organizers.
