business - Need a speaker to make a boring factory opening lively?

I must have been telling you that at Chinabiz we are setting up an international speakers' bureau. It still needs a bit more time, before we take off officially, but there is progress and meanwhile we are already helping companies and organizations in getting speakers.
Today we discovered a possible setting we had not yet added to our business plan: the opening of factories. We were called by a European company setting up a factory in Shanghai. But how do you get your major customers to an Chinese opening: even most international visitors have seen your dragon dance already a dozen times. Of course, there will be some speakers from the industry, but that is because you cannot avoid them.
So, the request for us: find a speaker who knows the industry and can amuse people. I think we actually got already a few names together.
Just for the record: we are not yet registering speaker and might be rather reluctant to do so, since screening is a costly and time-consuming process. Since we do not know whether we are going to charge a registration fee of US$ 500, we have potential speakers not yet so much to tell. But we will call you when we have an opportunity.
Meanwhile, while we are trying to get our act together, you might already start to learn "Speaking for Millions".
