Your event deserves more than a good agenda
You’ve invested in speakers, a venue, and a programme. But the moments that matter, the unexpected spark, the shift in perspective, the conversation the audience carries home, those don’t happen on their own. They are designed, held, and guided.
Your host
Strategist, moderator, and connector, Maryama Marong brings over a decade of working at the intersection of innovation, leadership, and navigating complexity. Maryama brings both intellectual rigour and genuine warmth to every room she enters. She moderates in English and Dutch, and moves fluently between startups, global corporates, and multi-stakeholder organisations. She listens actively, reads the energy of the room, and knows when to open up the conversation and when to bring it back into focus. She is equally at ease anchoring a large conference as she is guiding an intimate leadership dialogue.
