As of my last knowledge update in January 2022, I don't have specific information on the very latest developments in the speaking business.

Advanced Analytics: Speakers were increasingly using data analytics to measure the impact of their presentations. This includes analyzing audience engagement, feedback, and other metrics to refine their content and delivery.
Blockchain for Speakers: Some platforms were exploring the use of blockchain to enhance security and transparency in speaker bookings and payments, ensuring fair compensation for speakers and preventing fraud.
Podcasting and Audio Content: Many speakers were leveraging the popularity of podcasts and creating audio content to reach a broader audience. This allowed them to share insights, interviews, and expertise in a format that people could consume on the go.
Emphasis on Sustainability: There was a growing awareness of the environmental impact of events. Some speakers and event organizers were incorporating sustainable practices, such as virtual events to reduce travel-related carbon footprints.
