Trust comes
from good work

Ferry van Saalbach

The moderator you can rely on

Trust in a professional presenter does not come from fine words, but from consistently good work on stage. A Overview of the events I have moderated since the start of my self-employment in 2020 can be found at the bottom of this page. 

I show you some particularly striking examples of my work on this page. But if you prefer to see me in moving images, then I recommend my Showreel. There you can see which formats I have moderated for my clients - and above all hear from the clients themselves how they experienced my work.

Because I can say a lot. But in the end, you can only find out what really counts from those who have been on stage with me.
