I have been getting a lot of emails from university students and fresh graduates on how to get into Financial Markets. I think there is a big audience (students and parents). While I am willing to organise a talk (not free one la), I am having problems with the logistics. I need an events organiser (or entrepreneur) to help me with this.

What I require from the organiser:
- to book the venue
- to market the event to colleges
- to have sales points (or internet booking facility) for ticket sales
- can go on revenue share

The gist of the talk:

Do you aim to be:
- a Fund Manager
- an Equity Analyst
- a Forex Trader
