If you want to get booked more often—and more easily—you need a speaker media kit. It’s your all-in-one portfolio that showcases your experience, expertise, and professionalism to event organizers and podcast hosts. Whether you’re just starting out or already a seasoned speaker, a media kit gives you an edge in a competitive industry.

In this article, we’ll show you exactly what to include in your speaker media kit, how to use it to get more gigs, and how your SpeakerPAGE can serve as your ultimate digital one-sheet.

1. What Is a Speaker Media Kit?

A speaker media kit is a curated collection of materials that introduces you to event planners, podcast hosts, and media outlets. It highlights your qualifications, presentation topics, and credibility in a way that’s easy to review and share.

It’s often confused with a press kit or speaker one-sheet:

• Speaker One-Sheet: A one-page overview of your speaking topics and credentials.

• Press Kit: A broader media-focused kit for PR purposes, with press releases and media coverage.

• Speaker Media Kit: Combines both, giving a comprehensive view of your brand as a speaker.

Pro Tip: Your SpeakerPAGE on SpeakerHUB functions as a dynamic, always-updated one-sheet. It automatically showcases your bio, talk topics, testimonials, and past speaking gigs—making it easy for organizers to evaluate and book you.

Your media kit can be digital (PDF or link) or print-ready. Either way, it’s a critical asset when pitching yourself to organizers.

2. Must-Have Elements to Include

Here’s what every effective speaker media kit should contain:

High-Resolution Headshots

Add 2-3 headshots in different styles: on-stage, formal, and candid. Make sure they’re clear and downloadable.

Talk Topics & Titles

List your signature talks with compelling titles and short descriptions. This helps organizers quickly match you with relevant events.

Speaker Page or Website Link
