About the event
Cross-Cultural Communications Event
Format - Virtual
Budget - $5,000-$7,500 speaking fee
Topic - The speaker should be able to address employees of all levels, individual contributors included. They're very conscious about making sure content doesn't lean overly leadership-focused. I'd estimate 100-200 in the audience from across their global employee base. Speakers with technical and/or manufacturing backgrounds are a great plus.
About - GlobalFoundries, recently went through a Re-Org, so the topic is very timely for them.
