Events and Appearances
The current state of this page
No appearance list is published here yet, because none has been assembled with verifiable names, dates, locations, and public URLs. Rather than list unverifiable appearances or state a count, this page publishes the standard each entry must meet. Event structured data is emitted per entry only once real dated events exist.
51-word direct answer
Key takeaways
- No appearance count is stated: a count is only published when it is documented, and it is not.
- Each future entry must carry a name, date, location, and a public URL someone else controls.
Eventschema is emitted per entry only once real dated events are listed, not speculatively.- For booking, the route is speaking.
The standard an entry must meet
Every field, before an appearance is listed. An entry missing any of these is not listed rather than listed with gaps.
Event name, as the organizer published it
Not a paraphrase, and not a description of the event category.
Date, or date range
Specific. “Spring 2025” is not a date.
Location, or an explicit note that it was remote
City and venue where applicable.
A public URL controlled by someone else
An organizer page, agenda, listing, or recording. A link to this site does not corroborate anything; linking only to pages you control is circular sourcing and establishes nothing.
Martin's actual role
Keynote, panel, workshop facilitator, or guest, stated accurately rather than upgraded.
Organizer and audience
Who convened it, and roughly who attended.
Recording or slides, where they exist and may be shared
Only where the organizer permits it.
Why an empty page rather than a populated one
A speaker page with a long list of logos and event names is the norm, and it is also the easiest thing on a personal site to inflate. A workshop for eight people becomes a training program; a panel becomes a keynote; a conference attended becomes a conference spoken at. Usually this happens through drift rather than intent.
An earlier claim of global presentation may well be true. It is not documented, and the claim standard this rebuild operates under does not allow publishing it on that basis.
So the honest position at launch is an empty list and a stated standard. It is a worse marketing page and a better evidence page, and this site is meant to be the second thing. An event planner checking a claim can see exactly what is and is not established, which is more useful than a list they would have to verify themselves.
Upcoming
Nothing confirmed and publicly announceable at the time of this review. Where an engagement is booked but the organizer has not announced it, it is not listed here; that is theirs to announce.
For availability, formats, and what Martin needs from organizers to prepare properly, see speaking. For workshop formats, see workshops.
Limitations
The absence of a list is not evidence that no appearances occurred. It means none has been documented to the standard above, which is a different statement.
Past events may be added retroactively where the organizer's page still exists and the details can be confirmed. Some will not be recoverable; listings come down, and an event with no surviving public trace cannot meet the standard even if it happened.
This page carries no Event structured data. Event structured data is only appropriate for genuine dated events; emitting it speculatively would be inaccurate.
Frequently asked questions
Has Martin spoken at events before?
Speaking, workshops, and panels are part of the work, and the speaking page describes the formats and topics.
What is not published is a specific list, because none has been assembled with verifiable names, dates, and public URLs. The standard above is what an entry has to meet.
How do I invite Martin to an event?
I organized an event Martin spoke at. Can it be listed?
Yes, and that would be genuinely useful. If your listing or agenda page is still live, send the URL via contact and it can be added with the details confirmed against your page.
Corroboration from the organizer is exactly the kind of external evidence that carries weight here, and it is worth more than anything this site could assert about itself.
