ROBERT DAVERSCHOT

Chairman. Moderator. Sidekick.

On stage Robert interviewed ministers, subject experts and captains of industry. He even interviewed His Holiness the Dalai Lama. Yet he always involves the audience. Robert’s belief of “an event being as good as its audience”, always makes him find ways to engage with the attendees. To hear their experience. Their perspective.
