China Speakers Bureau (0)
First speakers bureau in China ready to roll
Shanghai, 15 August 2007
August 15th marks the official start of China’s first professional speakers bureau, ChinaBiz Speakers Ltd (www.chinabizspeakers.com), a subsidiary of the business information center ChinaBiz Ltd.
ChinaBiz Speakers offers one-stop solutions for companies, industry associations, business chambers and other event organizers looking for professional speakers on China. It provides direct access to distinguished economists, influential business and management experts, dynamic motivational speakers and media personalities, and manages travel and event logistics for their speakers so customers don’t have to.
At its start Chinabiz Speakers has a database of two-hundred speakers and its website lists close to thirty of them. Both numbers are likely to rise fast after the official start. The speakers include Rupert Hoogewerf of the Hurun China Rich list, former Alcatel China CEO Dominique de Boisseson, economist Wen Tiejun, J.Walter Thompson Greater China CEO Tom Doctoroff and many other opinion leaders.
“We have seen a very positive response from the market during our preparations,” says ChinaBiz Speakers Managing Partner Scott Shi. “Not only speakers react enthusiastically, we got already quite a number of requests for speakers before our official launch. We are a high-end service provider and we feel that China is now ready for this kind of services.”
Chinabiz Speakers has already been providing speakers at board meetings of international companies, factory openings, internal company conferences and for classes of visiting international business schools.

Zaijian…. (46)
Books have been virtually replaced by blogs. But, puns aside, many of them showcase the transformative elements Pablo Neruda* suggests as essential to written art in Ars Magnetica:
“From so much loving and journeying, books emerge.
And if they don’t contain kisses or landscapes,
if they don’t contain a woman in every drop,
hunger, desire, anger, roads,
there are no use as a shield or as a bell:
they have no eyes and won’t be able to open them….”
Here I have I have tried to smooth the stubble of memory, share poetry, attempt humor, journal my social conscience, and reconcile my longings while shoutng to you in some far-off room. I leave here absolutely bewildered that anyone, other than my long-suffering friends, ever returned to listen. I am grateful you did.
