What Is the SpeakerMatch Affinity Partner Program?
The SpeakerMatch Affinity Partner Program is designed for organizations, chapters, and associations that serve speakers, professionals, or members interested in public speaking opportunities.
As an Affinity Partner, your organization receives a custom SpeakerMatch partner link or code that your members can use when joining SpeakerMatch. When members join using your link, they receive a discount, and your organization earns chapter funds.
This program is not a sales program and does not require quotas, contracts, or ongoing promotion.
Who Are Ideal Partners
The Affinity Partner Program is a good fit for:
Professional associations and chapters
Speaker groups and networks
Alumni organizations
Membership-based organizations that support career growth or professional development
The program is designed to be simple to share and easy to explain to members without sounding promotional.
What Your Members Receive
Members who join SpeakerMatch using your Affinity Partner link receive:
Twenty-five percent off their SpeakerMatch membership
Access to speaker opportunities posted by event organizers
The ability to create a professional speaker profile and be discovered for events
The discount is applied automatically when the member signs up using your link or code.
What Your Organization Receives
For every qualifying member who joins SpeakerMatch through your Affinity Partner link, your organization earns:
$25 dollars per signup credited to your chapter or group
There are no limits on how many members can participate, and there is no obligation to promote beyond what feels appropriate for your organization.
How This Is Different from the SpeakerMatch Ambassador Program
The Affinity Partner Program is designed specifically for organizations and groups supporting their members.
Unlike individual referral or ambassador programs, the Affinity Partner Program focuses on:
Member value first
Simple sharing through a single partner link
Chapter or organization benefits rather than individual commissions
This keeps the program aligned with group-based missions and avoids turning it into a sales or referral system.
Is Participation Required or Ongoing?
There is no requirement to promote SpeakerMatch on a schedule or commit to ongoing activity. Many partners choose to share their link during onboarding, newsletters, meetings, or resource pages, but participation is always optional and flexible.
