Speaking events
Conferences, meetups, and events with an open call for speakers. You apply through their CFP, so the deadline you care about is the CFP's, not the event's.
Passive — you reach out to them
Available in chat and to any connected MCP client.
Where the data comes from: Featured's index of events and open calls for speakers.

Filters
You don’t type filters. Describe what you want in plain language and Featured picks the filters for you — “podcasts with at least 50 episodes that published something this month” sets two of the filters below. The literal field names are listed because they’re what an MCP client or API caller passes.
| Filter | Field | Type | Default | What it does | Ask for it like |

Handled for you: excludeEventIds — Featured fills this in to keep results you have already been shown out of the next set.
Notes
- Closed calls are hidden by default. You see events you can still apply to unless you ask to include the ones that have closed.
- Location is skipped for online events. If you ask for virtual events, a location filter doesn’t apply — there isn’t one.
- Country abbreviations are expanded. “US” becomes United States, “UK” becomes United Kingdom, before matching.
