The past year has been very challenging because of the pandemic. COVID-19 has changed a lot of lives, including public speakers and how events were organized.
But still, we can’t believe how fast time has flown and how much we have learned in the past five years since SpeakerHub has started. We remained focused on our main goal: help speakers get more bookings and grow their speaking business.
We wanted to take a moment to thank you for joining the site and for staying with us—we wouldn’t be here without you.
We wanted to share with you some of the statistics about our growth, the inside scoop about who our speakers are, as well as some key indicators about our business.
