Guest speakers in South Africa are more in fashion than ever and it has to do with technology. A few years back we used overnight couriers to communicate; now we send the same info via email within seconds. We can use the net to transfer a couple of books worth of knowledge in a very short time. PowerPoint is used more than any other method in boardrooms. As convenient as this might be, it has increased the need for human interaction. Information overload increases the demand for guest speakers or a specific guest speaker. People want to hear people. Guest speakers are the ideal solution.
