German speakers are in high demand for events for several reasons. They are very innovative and creative and many conferences and seminars need these types of qualities in a guest. Foreign lecturers add perspective and a different dimension to talks. Guest lecturers can be found from a variety of disciplines ranging from government to economics and from academic fields to the world of competitive sports.
For example, one German speaker who is in relatively high demand is Hans-Olf Henkel. He is a member of Amnesty International and received an “Innovation Award of German Industry.” He was the chief executive officer of IBM in Europe. He also publishes well regarded books on a variety of economic issues.
Another lecturer who brings economic knowledge to her audiences is Beatrice Weder Di Mauro. She has been employed by several major international organizations including the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank. She is an expert on the current banking crisis, and she can talk at length about prospects for the global economy during the current economic downturn.
Former chancellor Helmut Kohl, who presided over Germany during its remarkable reunification process, can also be invited as a guest presenter. Kohl’s experiences during the cold war era are particularly valuable in this time of global unrest and international uncertainty. He speaks with grace, eloquence and poise and he can help students learn about European history and Europe’s role in the world. He can also provide perspectives on other nations, based on his experiences as chancellor.
Other popular speakers include ex-athletes like former Wimbledon tennis star Boris Becker and World Cup football player Franz Beckenbauer. These athletes bring humor and life experience to their talks and they can inspire fellow athletes and students aspiring to achieve athletic or academic success. Becker was a sensation in tennis and Beckenbauer was one of the greatest world cup soccer players of all time leading his team to several victories including a World Cup championship in 1974.
These lecturers can add perspective, humor and insight to all sorts of events ranging from business conferences to motivational meetings. They can appear for school classes or for company retreats. Many of them can adapt their speeches to tie into a theme your organization or group might want to emphasize.
Because Germany has become one of the most important nations on the European continent, guests from there are increasingly popular. Many American universities and businesses like to invite overseas speakers to add a foreign perspective and a global flavor to their presentations. Guests from Europe can provide interesting outlooks on contemporary events as they are viewed from the European continent.
German speakers can help entertain audiences at a wide range of different event types. From formal seminars to informal dinners, these lecturers can amuse and educate audiences of all ages with their wisdom and courage. Contacting a guest speaker should be done well in advance to prevent scheduling conflicts.
