EU & Europe
experts

We know how the EU works, what is hot and what is appropriate. We know the cultural habits and the lingo (yet we try to avoid them when possible).

Our mission

We believe that conferences can be so much better

We are on a mission to change the standard for conferences in Brussels Bubble and the rest of Europe. So that we have better conversations and thus better policies for all Europeans. And thus much more return on investment for you.

engaging.

No ritual dance around the protocol pole. People are on the edge of their seat from beginning till end. Because the content is relevant, spot-on, in-depth and straight to the core of the matter.  Your audience is involved, surprised and amused. No spectators, only participants.

inclusive.

Events should be inclusive for all people, voices and opinions. By actively searching and involving them. And by lowering barriers to participate in the design, language, atmosphere and methods.

impactful.

Conferences can have a much higher return on investment. That begins with defining clear goals, setting the bar high and then thinking creatively on how to achieve those goals. Events that really inspire, set change in motion and connect people, lead to better policies for all Europeans.

our work is 80% done.

To get the moderator your event deserves.

What does a professional moderator in Brussels do?

A professional moderator in Brussels helps EU institutions, associations, NGOs, and event organisers run structured, outcome-oriented meetings and conferences. This includes moderating EU policy debates, stakeholder dialogues, panel discussions, workshops, and high-level conferences. A good moderator not only moderates your event but also helps you in setting your goals clearly and helping you with an agenda and methodology that helps you reach those goals. 

Can you moderate multi-lingual and international EU events?

Yes. We regularly moderate international and multi-lingual events in English and work closely with interpretation teams. Our moderation style is adapted to diverse cultural and professional backgrounds common in European and international settings.

Are you based in Brussels?

Yes. Moderating.eu operates from Brussels and is fully embedded in the European policy and event ecosystem. This allows us to work efficiently with EU institutions, Brussels-based organisations, and international partners. We have moderators in Brussels and in many member states, available in many languages. 

Why hire a moderator specialised in the EU bubble?

The Brussels EU bubble has its own dynamics: multi-level governance, political sensitivities, cultural diversity, and strict time constraints. A moderator specialised in EU affairs understands institutional roles, policy language, and stakeholder interests, and can manage discussions neutrally while keeping outcomes clear and actionable. At the same time, we see it as our mission to make all events accessible also for outsiders. We understand that there is protocol to stay into, but having effective meetings is the most important, so when needed we try to navigate around it. 

Can you help design the programme of an EU conference?

Yes. We frequently support clients not only during the event, but also in the design phase. This includes shaping the programme, refining session formats, preparing speakers, and aligning the event with strategic objectives and policy context. We add most of our value if you are high risk early and we like it the most if we cannot only help you with execution but also with strategy.

Do you moderate hybrid and online EU events?

Yes. We have extensive experience moderating hybrid and fully online EU events, including complex set-ups with remote speakers, live audiences, interpretation, and interactive tools. Hybrid moderation is treated as a distinct discipline, not a technical afterthought.

What types of EU events do you moderate?

Everything! From small boardroom meetings to big events and from flashy galas and award ceremonies to in-depth policy discussions: we like them all, and like to cross the boundaries between them. We love to be chameleons that adjust to the occasion

  • EU policy conferences and summits
  • Panel discussions and fireside chats
  • Stakeholder consultations and dialogues
  • Workshops and interactive breakout sessions
  • Hybrid and online EU events
  • Strategy days and internal EU meetings
Content Do you moderate events for EU institutions and European associations?

Yes. We moderate events for EU institutions, European umbrella organisations, industry associations, NGOs, and international organisations active in Brussels. Typical assignments include policy conferences, consultations, high-level panels, stakeholder dialogues, and strategy workshops.

How far in advance should we book a moderator in Brussels?

Early! For high-level EU conferences, booking several weeks to a few months in advance is recommended. We add most of our value in the preparatory phase. The earlier you involve us, the more value we deliver and the more impact your event has!
