Speakers Team

Description

Will you get the next big speaker to Groningen?
For its events, the EBF wants to attract interesting speakers. In the Speakersteam you make sure interesting speakers come to Groningen to give lectures, for example for a Leadership Panel, a symposium, a debate or a different lecture. In addition, this committee works together with the Prospect Committee to search for important names to interview for the Prospect Magazine.

The EBF has an extended network of companies that can provide interesting names. In other cases it is your job to find a way to reach a speaker. This is challenging but along the way you will meet interesting people who are always willing to help you. Especially the role of international speakers in our events is increasing. In the process you will brainstorm about who is interesting for the EBF, and who you should contact.

Big speakers the EBF had in the past: Alexander Pechtold, Gerrit Zalm, Dick Berlijn, Dirk Scheringa, and Mark Rutte.
