Moderator

As moderator my ultimate goal is to create an atmosphere in which the messages of the speakers really stand out. At the end of the day, the main goal is to have the audience go home with new knowledge, new inspiration, and a great feeling. I love brainstorming about the program, about the speakers and about the organization of a conference. Just like a host in the theater, I care about one thing: to provide people with an experience they will talk about for a long time afterwards. Sometimes I find it hard to push back my own vision for the speakers to get their message across, but if that is what needs to happen, I will do it anyway.

Earlier I worked as a moderator for DeMeter (The future of Direct Marketing), EuroForum (Second Life congres), and Communiqué (Technical University of Twente), all in the Netherlands.

As moderator at conference ‘The future of Direct Marketing’.

Robert de Boer from Direct Marketing organization De Meter:

On behalf of Direct Marketing organization DeMeter we booked Erwin as a moderator for our conference ‘The future of Direct Marketing’. This was a major and very progressive conference for DeMeter. Erwin was not just a perfect moderator, he also helped organizing the conference. He pro-actively did the supervising, preparation and briefing of the speakers, and a lot more. It was a very successful event and I would even venture to say that this event would not have had this high quality if it wasn’t for Erwin’s contribution. Not surprisingly, the audience rated him very high!
