Entrepreneurs gather to speak their mind

May 12 2009 by Karen Dent, The Journal

A SOUTH Tyneside entrepreneur has lined up some of the world’s most inspirational speakers to talk to audiences in the North East after he was elected president of the North East Professional Speakers Association (PSA).

Geoff Ramm has used his new post to bring speakers including Robin Sieger and Alan Stevens to the region in the coming months.

He said: “These speakers are some of the best in the business and they travel the globe to inspire, enthuse and motivate audiences, so to bring them here will help budding speakers develop their speaking business.” Mr Ramm has himself been invited to speak at the PSA’s national convention in London in November.

He will address an audience of around 200 professional speakers with his observational marketing stories and ideas.

Roger Harrop, PSA president, said: “It was such a delight for me when Geoff was elected President of the North East Chapters. He’s one of our brightest stars and a speaker of some note.

“It was a no-brainer for the Convention Committee to select him to speak at the annual convention”.
