talks

In many key note speeches, Vanessa has drawn on her knowledge of the world of the arts and the part they play in society, particularly in North Africa and the Middle East. Her experience in sustainable hotel development and design, alongside her joy and her enthusiasm for nature’s vital role in our well being and survival, gives her a keen insight and unique voice amongst more specialised keynote speakers. She has spoken at a wide variety of events from Tedx Casablanca to London’s St Martins in the Field and from Lagos to Abu Dhabi. Please contact for availability.
