| One of our main objectives is to work with the best speakers in the subject matter. Coming from the finance and accounting industry, we are able to identify the best speakers for the subject matter.At the same time we also believe that the best speakers may not necessarily the seasoned speakers as there are always new or hidden talents and as such we do invite and encourage those who are expert in their own fields with relevant experiences but who may not have conducted many seminars to gear up themselves to be seminar speakers.We continuously look for the most suitable speakers locally and abroad to share their knowledge, experiences and research findings with you. Below is just a list of our regular speakers who have conducted seminars/workshops for us and who will be conducting more in the future. |
