Inspire. Connect. Transform.
We're building a platform where ideas are shared, connections are made, and transformations begin. Welcome to the future of event experiences.
Tolkz™ was born out of a vision to create a space where voices are heard, stories are shared, and impact is amplified beyond borders. Founded by Oliver Nshom, a global speaker, author, and public speaking coach, Tolkz started as a movement to bridge the gap between talented speakers and global opportunities. Recognizing the challenges many speakers face in securing paid gigs, Oliver designed Tolkz as a platform to provide visibility, networking, and training to equip speakers with the tools they need to succeed in the industry.
Tolkz™ hosts free 15-minute talks followed by breakout discussions as a marketing strategy, allowing speakers to gain exposure and connect with potential clients. Our unique subscription-based model provides members with access to a network of national and international speaking engagements, enabling them to monetize their expertise while building a sustainable career in public speaking.
Today, Tolkz has grown into a vibrant marketplace where thousands of events find their perfect attendees, and where people discover experiences that transform their perspectives, skills, and connections.
