      <info>SpeakerRate is a community site for event organizers, attendees, and speakers.

* Event organizers can find speakers, learn about talks they've given in the past, and determine who would be a good match for the event they're organizing.
* Event attendees can provide constructive feedback to speakers, track the talks they've attended, and research upcoming talks that they might attend.
* Event speakers can get valuable constructive feedback directly from attendees and find out how they can improve their content and delivery for their next talk. They can also establish a SpeakerRating, which will help them earn future speaking opportunities.

SpeakerRate is a Pointless Corp. project. We built SpeakerRate because we are event organizers, attendees, and speakers ourselves, and we felt like a site like SpeakerRate would be useful for us and others. We hope others agree.</info>
