PANEL 2 SPEAKER 

Heather Hook has been involved in the events and speaking industry since 2008 and has worked on a variety of projects in her time, including some of the leading events in Southern Africa – Oil & Gas Africa, the 6th SA AIDS Conference, The Success Summit and National Achievers Congress.

One of her most memorable speaking experiences has been sharing the stage with fellow business speakers at The Business Opportunities and Franchise Expo 2014.

Heather’s journey through her personal growth is quite engaging. From a housewife to a struggling divorcee working multiple jobs to make ends meet, to a chance interview that ignited her path upwards through the ranks in events management, to discovering an event concept that sparked her interest in running her own business – Heather’s experiences are so raw and real, that she instantly touches a cord with her audiences.

She manages to inject her unique sense of humour and basic “realness” in to any topic she speaks on, and most specifically enjoys interacting with events related groups, sharing her knowledge and experience gained in the industry to better expand the knowledge of others, to ensure that all who attend learn something new that can be used in any aspect of the events management field, be it a party held at home, a business launch or a corporate conference.
