Speakers Excellence opens Swiss branch

 The speaker placement agency Speakers Excellence is expanding its activities. Founder and owner Gerd Kulhavy's company now has a branch in Zurich. From now on, old and new Swiss clients will be looked after from Leutschenbachstrasse in Oerlikon. The local office is managed by Simon Hubacher and Alexander Schungl. Hubacher is the owner of the Swissaffaires Communications agency, while Schungl is also responsible for Speakers Excellence Alpine's activities in Austria. The core business of the Stuttgart-based company is the placement of speakers, keynote speakers and coaches from the worlds of business, science, education, sport, culture and politics for corporate and educational events. Speakers Excellence also develops and implements event concepts for companies, associations and organizations. Speakers are offered further training seminars and advice on positioning and marketing issues. In March 2009, Speakers Excellence is organizing the 2nd Zurich Knowledge Forum.
The agency's placement pool has long included various Swiss personalities such as rhetoric coach Martin Betschart, Alinghi team member Dominik Neidhart, balloonist Bertrand Piccard and memory trainer Gregor Staub.
