Insightly is a great choice of customer relationship manager (CRM) app for many speakers. It's on the simpler and less expensive end of the spectrum compared to Salesforce or Keap, yet offers all of the features that many speakers require.
If you keep your contacts in Insightly, you can easily link them to your eSpeakers events. This feature is included with your PRO account ( upgrade ).

Presto! You now have a copy of that Insightly contact added to the event.
