According to smartmeetings.com, speakers have been an important attraction at meetings to inform, inspire and entertain attendees. Recently, speakers have become even more significant as they’ve been expected to develop new approaches and more actively promote meetings.

During our first year, we had the chance and honor to welcome some impressive speakers such as Alisée de Tonnac, co-founder of Seedstars, Bill Aulet, managing director Martin Trust Center MIT entrepreneurship, or Prof. Dr. Friederike Eyssel, professor of psychology and head of the research unit “Applied Social Psychology and Gender Research” at the Center for Cognitive Interaction Technology, Bielefeld University, Germany. Our goal is to find experts in various subjects and create the most attractive event possible. To achieve this objective, we rely on the collaboration of each participating school and mobilize our network of external partners.
