Our busiest speaking week ever


Postings has been pretty low on my weblogs and for good reasons. Next week will be our busiest week at Chinabiz Speakers ever in our young life. In total we will provide five speakers for a range of different events, not including a bunch of VC's who will show up at a VC panel. A short overview of a hectic schedule (that will might change):
Especially the visit of the 30 Vivendi executives, organized by a subsidiary of Chinabiz for INSEAD is a nice test of our systems.
Next month, with Chinese New Year hitting business, will be a bit less hectic, but we are planning a range of activities to expand the number of events, now we are confident that we have our systems in place:
  • Currently I'm in Europe in an effort to team up with other speakers' bureaus. We got a request for cooperation from our colleagues in Australia and we think that the needs for good speakers in China
  • We are setting up a regular newsletter for our speakers, customers and potential customers. We did have an infrequent newsletter for our speakers, but it is also time to get in touch with our customers base on a more regular basis
  • We are planning a few Oxford-style debates involving some of our more prominent speakers
  • We are still working on improving our website, but hectic activities unfortunately cause delays here.
  • We are hiring senior account managers to help us deal with our expansion plans
More later this year.
