Shanghai via WikipediaThe shortened holiday is around the corner and many readers seem to be already packing for different holiday destinations. So, before everybody's mind is on other things, we have an earlier edition of the Most Sought Speakers at Chinabiz Speakers for the month April.As I already predicted in the top-10 for March 2008, Shaun Rein's march to the top will be upstoppable. This month Shaun has driven long-term winner Tom Doctoroff to the second place with a pretty huge margin, based on Shaun's diligent way of working with the traditional media.
Biggest surprise is Rowan Gibson on the third place, coming in from absolutely nowhere. He is the first speakers without clear China-credentials getting to high in our rankings. We have added Rowan Gibson to Chinabiz Speakers, because he is a leading expert on innovation and some of his authoritative books will appear this year in Chinese. Obvious, that was a good choice.
Also in the tail of our top-10 five remarkable newcomers, also because we have a shared 10th position for both Maria Trombly and Mark Schaub.
What helps very much to go up in the rankings, is getting into the media. In those terms also Jeremy Goldkorn is fast gaining celebrity status; Rupert Hoogewerf had already that status, but has been working hard to get the 10th year anniversary of his Rich Lists in the publicity. I'm using Twitter and can follow so Isaac Mao's international endeavors: also very impressive.
