About this app

Every event lives or dies on one hire — the keynote speaker or the MC. Booking that person still means email intros through a bureau that takes 20–30% of the fee, days of back-and-forth on availability, and a separate scramble for contracts and tech riders. YapElite collapses find → agree → pay → paperwork into a single evening. FOR EVENT ORGANISERS • Discover elite keynote speakers, MCs and facilitators in a clean, curated grid • AI matchmaking surfaces the right speakers for your brief — and tells you why • Send a booking offer in one tap, or post an RFP and compare bids side by side • Escrow-protected payments — funds held securely, released on your terms • Contracts, tech riders and hospitality riders generated automatically on confirmation • Every conversation and booking tracked in one place FOR SPEAKERS • One "golden profile" — bio, topics, talk history, sizzle reel, fee tiers • Sync availability from any calendar (iCal) so you never double-book • Accept or decline offers from the Green Room dashboard in one tap • Get discovered on merit — a new voice is treated exactly like an established name • Faster, escrow-backed payouts, and you keep the client relationship WHY YAPELITE • A fair platform fee instead of a punitive bureau cut • Built for speakers everywhere, not just the US/UK circuit • "Quiet luxury" design — minimal, fast, made for professionals Booking-scoped chat keeps every negotiation private to the two parties involved.
