PSASA Pretoria Chapter to Host Speaker Factor Regionals at Eduvos Pretoria Campus

The Professional Speakers Association of Southern Africa (PSASA) Pretoria Chapter is proud to announce that its prestigious Speaker Factor Competition Regionals will be hosted at the Eduvos Pretoria Campus. The ideal setting for one of the most anticipated events on the region’s professional speaking calendar, this venue highlights a shared commitment to professional development and communication. Strengthened links between the professional and academic arenas benefit not only the PSASA and Eduvos, but also the broader communities they serve.

Pretoria’s Speaker Factor Regionals will benefit from the convenient location, modern facilities, 24-hour security, and high accessibility of Eduvos Pretoria Campus.

“We are excited about the relationship ahead,” remarked Eduvos Pretoria Campus General Manager Elna Lombard.

To finalise logistics, PSASA Pretoria Chapter President Kakanyo (KK) Pilane met with Campus Facilities Manager Isaih Bilah. Ms. Pilane remarked that she was thrilled about the venue.

"I am lost for words. In Performance Arts language this is our truest Production and Stage management team.”

About Speaker Factor

The Speaker Factor Competition is Southern Africa’s showcase for emerging professional speakers. Participants are judged on their content, scripting, stagecraft and, above all, bookability.

The Pretoria Regionals will feature five rising speakers: Anthony Ntobeko Peter, Claire De Moelenaere, Dithebe Menoe, Nhlanhla Mabuza and Pieter Roos.

In addition, the audience will benefit from a panel discussion entitled Behind the Stage with award-winning PSASA speakers Taryn-Lee Kearney and Ian Hatton. These experts promise a dialogue that is fun and frank, informative and inspiring.
