Swanepoel’s speaking engagements reflect an extension of his research and advisory work, translating complex industry developments into clear, engaging, and relevant perspectives. With more than 1,500 engagements, many as keynote presentations or as the sole speaker, audiences have ranged from intimate executive groups to gatherings of more than 10,000 across the United States and internationally, including Australia, New Zealand, Canada, South Africa, Kenya, Brazil, and Europe.
From boardrooms to large-scale conferences, and settings as diverse as the plains of the Serengeti, these engagements have reached more than two million people. While the primary focus has been residential real estate and executive leadership, audiences have also included professionals across a broad range of industries.
The focus remains consistent: to deliver perspective grounded in facts and analysis, and to demonstrate how high-quality information can be applied to improve decision-making and future outcomes.
Speaking
From standing-room-only crowds of 10,000 at the Anaheim Convention Center to intimate executive boardrooms in New York. From MBA lectures at UCLA Anderson to the Sydney Opera House. From leadership retreats in the savannahs of East Africa to packed auditoriums across five continents.
