At NEXDEXPERIENCE, I manage speaker and technical programme delivery for Resilience World Nexus Summit 2026 in Westminster, London, and WPC Energy Congress 2026. I coordinate speakers, content, schedules and presentation reviews, and oversee the speaker journey through onsite coordination.

Previously, I delivered events including Ramadan District Season 3 at Jumeirah Emirates Towers as Event Manager at M2L CONCEPTS – AYANA HOLDINGS. Across roles in events and marketing, I’ve worked on international summits, conferences, festivals and corporate events in the UAE, Singapore and the Philippines.
