Our Vision

Why we are building Panelista

Redefining how diverse voices take the stage.

The Problem

Traditional speaker discovery is slow and exclusive. Organizers often rely on outdated databases, closed networks, or last-minute referrals, leading to homogenous panels and missed opportunities. Speakers, especially those from underrepresented backgrounds, struggle to gain visibility or get booked without compromising their values or voice.

Our Approach

Panelista reimagines how organizers discover and book speakers. Guided by the UN Sustainable Development Goals, our AI opens access to a wider and more diverse pool of talent. Discovery is simple, booking is seamless, and trust is built into every interaction. Speakers own their profile and their voice, while organizers gain the tools to connect with the right people and create inclusive events from the start.
