Chris Reed is Taking on Male-Dominated Industry Conferences With ‘Female Rock-Star Speakers’
January 7, 2019Opinion-splitting marketer Chris Reed has launched what he claims is the seventh brand in his “business empire”, with his company – All Black Ventures – now looking to branch out into the provision of female conference speakers for industry events.
As reported by Mumbrella Asia, Reed – who bills himself as a global CEO and best-selling author – said he aimed to make 2019 the year of equality “on panels” and “keynotes” because conference organisers were often overlooking women when putting together event content.
“There is an imbalance because of the old boys network and comfy choices made by corporations, non-profits (like chamber of commerces) and conference/event organisers who all prefer male dominated panels and male keynote speakers.”
