🎤 Conference Speakers Scraper — Events, Summits & Trade Shows (MCP)

Find every speaker, committee member and chair for any conference, summit, congress, expo or trade show — worldwide. Paste one event URL (any website) and this Actor finds the speakers page itself, extracts names, talk topics, roles, companies, photos, social links and — when published — emails & phones. Built for lead generation, event research, PR outreach, competitive intelligence and AI agents (MCP-ready).

• 🌍 Worldwide — works in any language: English, Français, العربية, Español, Deutsch, 中文…
• 🎯 One URL is enough — auto-discovers the speakers page on any event site
• 🕵️ Hard-to-get data — programme committees, scientific chairs, academic reviewers
• 🔔 Monitor mode — returns only NEW speakers since your last run (schedule daily)
• 💸 From $1.50 per 1,000 speakers — fair per-row pricing, tested live before publishing

✨ 3 reasons to use it

1. No competitor does this. The top Store result for "conference speakers" is a Twitter scraper. This one is purpose-built.
2. Any event site, not just one platform. 4 engines in one Actor: on-page extraction (JSON-LD, speaker cards, profile links), free-text committee parsing, WikiCFP worldwide discovery, and the official Sessionize API (auto-detected).
3. Lead-grade output. Clean rows with name, role, company, eventName, profileUrl, email, phone, socialLinks, photoUrl, bio, talks, personType (speaker | committee).

🚀 How it works — pick a source

Source	What you give it	What it does
Auto ⭐	Any event / conference URL (home page or speakers page)	Finds the speakers page by itself and extracts the list
Direct URL	The exact speakers page you already have	Extracts, no discovery
Discover (WikiCFP)	A keyword: artificial intelligence, dermatology, fintech…	Finds upcoming conferences worldwide, then visits each official site and pulls its speakers
Sessionize	A sessionize.com/e/<id> link or event ID	Uses the official Sessionize JSON API (richest data: talk titles, bios, photos)

💡 Most runs need nothing but one URL. The default input is a real, working example (WeAreDevelopers World Congress — 500+ speakers).

🔔 Monitor mode — only what changed

Set mode = "onlyNew" and schedule the Actor (daily / weekly). It remembers every speaker it has already seen (stored in a persistent key-value store) and returns only the new ones — ideal to watch a competitor's partner list before a summit, or to be first to contact newly announced keynote speakers.

🤖 Built for AI agents (MCP)

Give your Claude / ChatGPT / Mistral agent a market and get structured speakers back:

💼 Use cases — who's this for

• Lead generation — pull 500 speakers of an industry summit and enrich them
• Sales & partnership — monitor a venue before your own event, find the real decision makers
• Academic / research — collect programme committees and scientific chairs
• PR & comms — find keynote speakers to invite, or to brief journalists

💸 Price

$0.001 to start + $1.50 per 1 000 speakers/committee members extracted (billed as speaker-extracted event). That's one of the cheapest rates in the Store for contact-grade data.

---

⚖️ Fair use

• Respects robots.txt and per-site Crawl-delay (e.g. WikiCFP's 5 s rule) by default — keep respectRobots on.
• Only extracts public data shown on event websites.
• Emails & phones are only captured when the site itself publishes them.
