Best Speaker Bets: 1998 ForecastAssociation - Canada's Association Management Magazine (December/January, 1997/1998)Today's associations are dealing with a myriad of challenges, and planning an event can be incredibly overwhelming. From the choice of venue, theme, and ultimately the speaker; the options seem endless. Speakers Spotlight works closely with association executives to better understand their unique challenges, and assist them by providing outstanding speakers for their events. Whether providing a keynote speaker for a memorable content-packed presentation, or developing a theme and complete conference program, Speakers? Spotlight?s goal is make the planning process easier. The following three speakers are sure to inform, entertain and inspire: Technology: Evan Solomon. As host of CBC Newsworld's Futureworld and editor of Shift Magazine, Evan?s insightful views dispel many of the myths and hype surrounding the digital world. He presents a unique, realistic picture of where things now stand, where they are headed, and how to best understand the implications these rapid changes are bringing. In 1997, Evan received a Gemini nomination as host of Futureworld, and was named one of the "100 Canadians to Watch" by Maclean's. "My interest is in culture," Solomon says. "I was never interested in technology as a computer nerd. But when it became available as a cultural force, I thought ?Wow - we?re witnessing the birth of a new medium, and this full shift in our economy.? To overlook it would be like missing the rock n? roll story of the sixties." Current Events and Issues: Jane Hawtin Jane Hawtin is host of Jane Hawtin Live, a national daily television program on WTN, and was one of Canada's first female major market newscasters and major market news director. Her hard-hitting speeches combine her warmth, intelligence and sense of humour, enabling her to tackle any topic with superb thoroughness and dynamic style. "Communication has various elements, and for me, as an interviewer and speaker, listening is one of the most important factors to effective communication. As well, I have an innate curiosity, and when a particular topic interests me, I interview the expert on the subject. I?ve got the best job in the world". - Jane Hawtin Politics: Mike Duffy With over 25 years experience on Parliament Hill, Mike Duffy is widely recognized as an "Ottawa insider." Reaching more than one million viewers nightly, Duffy is the most authoritative broadcaster commenting today on the political life of Canada. Duffy?s most cherished award came from the editors of Chatelaine magazine, who selected Mike as "ONE OF CANADA'S 10 SEXIEST MEN!" Duff?s humourous, informative presentations provide each audience with unique insights into Canadian politics, and its effect on their industry, business, and personal lives.
