Voco is not a marketplace.
Our purpose
We don'tuberize trust.
Voco isn't one more platform trying to “uberize” the speaking industry. It's the exact opposite.
For fifteen years, many tried to replace the human and automate trust. They all failed, because you don't book a human being the way you order a ride. Talent agencies are, and will remain, the industry's trusted partner.
Voco augments them, it doesn't replace them: AI and modern tools in service of the relationship, so speakers bureaus spend less time on admin and more time on what matters, people.

You don't uberize trustVoco augments the human. It doesn't replace them.Technology in service of the relationship, not in its place.
A fifteen-year-old promise that keeps failing.
For fifteen years, we've been promised the same thing: “uberize” the world of speakers. Disintermediate it. Automate it. Replace the agent with an algorithm, the relationship with a checkout button. Every time, the market said no. Because you don't book a human being the way you order a ride.
Voco is not a directory.
Voco replaces no one.
Voco augments everyone.
Booking a speaker, an expert, a host is, above all, a matter of trust. And trust cannot be automated: it is built. By the people who know their talent, understand their clients, and put their reputation on the line with every recommendation. Those people are the agencies. The speakers bureaus. The trusted partner nothing will ever replace.
So we chose the opposite of everyone else. We don't automate the human, we augment them. We don't replace agencies, we give them the tools they never had. Artificial Intelligence, structured data, modern infrastructure (not to erase the relationship, but to free up the time it finally deserves).
Voco professionalizes the industry, modernizes it, and saves hours on admin and sourcing. So that agencies and talent spend less time in spreadsheets, and more time with people. Because that is where (and only where) value is created.
Voco augments. Voco does not replace.The human, always, at the center.
