It is Friday and that means free ideas for you. I have to do work so I will keep this short.
People like me want to speak at conferences. People coordinating events want to get speakers. Sometimes it is hard to find conferences or the right people to speak.
I know this won’t work well for Guy Kawasaki, Seth Godin and big name speakers because people come to them. For everyone else this might be an opportunity to make life easier.
What do you think? As always, if you do this idea please buy me a burrito.
Side note: I am going to speak at O’Reilly’s Web 2.0 expo in SF next month if you are attending.

There’s always the argument about and for more minority (AKA women in the tech industry /Silicon Valley) and there are always esoteric bloggers who create lists of possible speakers.
Or, bloggers can start by simply stating that yes, they take speaking engagements (look at http://www.iwillteachyoutoberich.com/)

Sri,
I have been slacking, so this comment is being made to retain my number 1 spot in the Top Commenter category. Although it looks like there might be something up with it, as it lists Matador as the top commenter with a whopping 1 comment, what up with that?
Noah,
I think this is a good idea, as it would potentially help with diversifying the speakers at the countless conferences that go on. So why are you not building it?

Will,
I put the ideas out there so someone can build it. I don’t have the time to do everything I want…

Noah,
I figured you did not have the time, if only there were 48 hours in a day :-)! Hopefully someone will take the idea and run with it, it is a good one, not to mention the free burrito!

Opportunity: Create a common ground for speakers and event coordinators to meet.
Idea: How about a meet-up at Web 2.0 Expo for speakers and attendees (who also happen to be event organizers) to grab a burrito and talk about upcoming shows?

Marc,
I would be down for that, I will be getting in Sunday, just say when and I will be there!
It would be cool to get everyone together that hangs out here that is going to be there, it would be nice to meet some of you all.

Did the comments count get reset? My life long goal of getting on the best friends list might come through with this very post!

Sure did! Horay!
As for an actual comment:
I would say anything that helps opposite ends of a transaction meet up is a good opportunity. ebay, NYSE, CBOT, NASDAQ, paypal…

This kinda looks like my “speaker’s bureau” idea. When you are ready to make some $, give me a ring.

Pete,
I meant to find your post but yea it is quite similar to your idea. One day we will unite forces and conquer.
Burritos with you guys sounds great!

LOVE this idea! I was recently one of the co-organizers of http://www.podcampnyc.org One of the philosophies of podcamp is that anyone can sign up to speak. We had over 600 people show up and it was even a holiday weekend. Why not create some kind of virtual meet-up so people like me, from New York, and other remote regions can be part of the conversation too? I’m all for getting together face to face, that’s the best way to make connections, however, virtual connections are good too. Noah, when you are coming back to NYC so be can go to Benny’s burritos?
