Deciding whether to attend an event or listen to a speaker often feels like rolling the dice. People waste time and money on poorly organized events or lackluster speakers, while high-quality ones struggle to attract attention. Existing platforms like Eventbrite or Meetup help users discover events but don’t offer reliable ways to evaluate their quality. Similarly, platforms like TED rate speakers but only for their own curated content. There’s a clear need for an unbiased, crowd-sourced system that ranks events and speakers across categories to help people make informed choices.
A potential solution involves creating a platform that aggregates and ranks events and speakers based on attendee feedback, expert reviews, and engagement metrics. Here's one way it might function:
Users could contribute reviews, while event organizers and speakers could claim profiles to update information, creating a feedback loop that improves accuracy over time. The platform might partner with early adopters to seed initial content and validate rankings through pilot tests in specific communities, such as university clubs or tech conferences.
Such a platform could serve several groups:
Key to its success would be ensuring review authenticity—for example, by requiring ticket purchase verification—and differentiating from competitors by focusing on quality metrics rather than just event discovery.
A stepwise approach might include:
By prioritizing transparency and utility, such a platform could fill the gap between discovery and decision-making in the event space.
