All-round moderator

From lifestyle and culture to business news and debates: Katrien's diversity means she can present and moderate a wide range of topics, always with impact.

“When we work together, I think it's very important to go through everything together first and to have the right approach to the event and debate. Preparation is everything. I think it's only natural to know in advance what the topics are, the sensitivities involved and, of course, to have a preparatory meeting with the organisers and speakers.”

“When I was 14, I went to boarding school in Wallonia to learn French. I didn't expect to learn much more than a new language there – it broadened my horizons, opened up a whole new world and sparked my curiosity to discover the rest of the world.”

  • We had the pleasure of working with Katrien Smets as hostess during our Hexagon LIVE Brussels conference. This conference was attended by more than 350 leaders of technology companies from no fewer than 22 countries. Katrien brought out the best in the distinguished guest speakers during a balanced and interesting panel discussion on complex topics. I would recommend working with Katrien to anyone, as she adds professionalism, flair and elegance to any event.

  • Katrien came well prepared and with a smile. She had a calming conversation with all of the speakers and was able to quickly adapt to last-minute changes. During the debate, she gave everyone enough time to speak and was able to steer the guests in the right direction at the right time. We can definitely recommend working with her.

    Mark Gijbels, CEO Headfield

  • For the fashion show, she first gave a warm presentation about the 30th anniversary of our business. Katrien then set the tone and atmosphere during the fashion show with her choice of music. The audience was completely caught up in the vibe. Afterwards, we received compliments that it felt like a holiday: carefree, cheerful and exactly what the moment needed.
