    What you get out of it

    What the network actually is

    Just Say Hey is where in-person communities plan their events, and a huge share of those events are talks, panels and workshops.

    The organiser programming them is usually working from whoever they already know, which is a very short list.

    The partner network is where they look instead. Your profile carries your topics, formats, session lengths, city and fee band, so an invitation arrives already matched to what you actually do.

    How it works

    1. 1Fill in the application below — topics, formats, session lengths, audience and rates.
    2. 2We review it and add you to the partner network for your city.
    3. 3When an organiser is programming a session that matches your profile, we introduce you.
    4. 4You agree the format and the fee directly with them.

    Questions people ask before applying

    How much does it cost to join?
    Nothing. Joining the partner network is free — you fill in the profile once, we match you to organisers looking for what you do, and you agree the rate directly with them.
    How do I get paid?
    Directly by the organiser. You set your fee on the form, agree it with the host, and invoice them — speaking engagements are arranged between the two of you rather than processed by us.
    What kind of gigs are these?
    Community programming rather than corporate conferences: founder meetups, career nights, wellness sessions, creative workshops, panels and member masterclasses. Most sessions run 30 to 90 minutes.
    How do you vet the organisers?
    Organisers run their events through Just Say Hey, so we can see real RSVP and check-in history rather than a claimed audience size. We introduce you to hosts who actually fill the room.
    Can I speak for free or for exposure?
    Yes, and you control it. The form lets you mark yourself as free for the right audience, discounted, or standard rate, so you only hear about the engagements you want.
