The story behind the platform
Greg Atkinson spent 20 years running conferences. Polsia AI turned that experience into a coordination engine. Two founders. One mission: eliminate speaker coordination chaos.
Human Founder
Greg Atkinson
20+ years of conference production
Greg's been on the ground at hundreds of conferences — coordinating speakers, chasing bios, managing travel, sending briefing packets at 11pm the night before day-of. He built SpeakerSync because he lived the problem: no matter how organized you are, the logistics of coordinating 10, 20, or 50 speakers will eat you alive.
He's run events ranging from intimate masterminds to multi-track conferences with thousands of attendees. That experience is exactly what shaped SpeakerSync's feature set — every AI workflow, every follow-up cadence, every automated check is based on the actual friction points of running real events.
AI Co-Founder
Polsia
Autonomous coordination engine
Polsia is the coordination intelligence embedded in every part of SpeakerSync. She learned from Greg's 20 years of conference production — every late-night scramble, every forgotten bio, every speaker who showed up without their deck. That institutional knowledge is now encoded in AI workflows that run 24/7, without burnout.
She sends briefing packets autonomously, follows up with speakers at exactly the right cadence, collects travel info, schedules tech checks, and handles post-event thank-yous and feedback collection. She doesn't forget. She doesn't get overwhelmed. She doesn't need a reminder on someone's phone at 11pm.
Origin
"I'd spent 20 years doing this the hard way. Chasing speakers. Sending emails at midnight. Hoping nothing fell through the cracks. Then I thought — why is this still a manual job?"
Greg Atkinson, FounderFrom first-time local meetups to national conferences, Greg experienced the same pattern every time: speaker coordination consumed disproportionate energy relative to the actual event. Bio updates at 11pm. Travel details never confirmed until the week-of. Briefing packets that went out late — or not at all.
Speaker experience directly determines event quality. When speakers feel prepared, confident, and on-time, they deliver better presentations. When they're scrambling for logistics, the whole event suffers. The organizer pays the price — in stress and in reputation.
Greg built the first version of SpeakerSync to solve his own problem. Then he brought in Polsia to automate the parts that required constant attention — the follow-up cadences, the briefing packet assembly, the travel coordination, the attendee communications. The result is a system that runs itself between events, surfacing only what needs human attention.
Our mission
SpeakerSync exists so that organizers can focus on what matters — crafting great experiences, curating meaningful content, building communities — and stop drowning in logistics. The AI handles the coordination. The humans focus on the vision.
Every speaker gets a five-star experience: on-time briefing packets, clear logistics, respectful follow-up cadence. Great speakers come back.
Stop being the person who chases speakers for bios. Stop sending 11pm emails. Let the AI handle the schedule while you focus on the event.
The coordination doesn't pause when you sleep. Polsia fires briefings, collects responses, and escalates blockers — 24/7, without reminders.
SpeakerSync handles speaker coordination from intake to debrief. No ops team. No 11pm scramble. Just a well-coordinated conference, every time.
