Every open call for speakers that fits your topics, in one dashboard

Worth the Pitch searches the public web and trusted event feeds for calls for speakers and calls for proposals. It reads each call page, extracts the key details, and merges duplicate listings of the same event. The crawler honors robots.txt and identifies itself, so organizers know who is visiting.

Yes. The open calls directory at /calls/ lists current calls for speakers publicly. Signing up adds the parts that save the most time: fit scores against your profile, Worth Check verdicts, deadline reminders and proposal drafts written for each conference's actual form.

Your matches refresh automatically every six hours in the background and again whenever you change your profile. You can also press Check for new matches at any time. Calls whose submission deadline has passed are hidden automatically, so what you see is open and accepting proposals.

The score runs from 0 to 100 and combines topic, audience, credentials, location, compensation, strategic value and deadline fit. Each match lists its strengths and concerns in plain language, so you can see why a call ranked high and decide quickly whether to pursue it.

Yes. Each call records whether the event is in person, virtual or hybrid, along with its location, and your travel and virtual preferences filter the list. For conferences abroad, turn on International calls and pick up to three countries: we search each one in its own language and in English, translate every call into English, and keep only calls that accept talks in the languages you present in. They appear under an International tab in your matches.
