5 lessons from emceeing the Orange Forum: Creating impact on and off stage
Emceeing the Orange Forum 2024 at Singaporeβs SGX Auditorium was a 2024 highlight and an unforgettable opportunity to amplify voices driving gender equality and sustainable finance. With my co-host and over 300 leaders from across the globe in attendance, this was a space where purpose met action.
Here are five lessons Iβve learned from years of emceeing events:
ππππ«π π°π’ππ‘ ππ§ππ«π π²: First impressions matter. Begin with warmth and authenticity to set a tone that resonates.
ππ ππππ©ππππ₯π: Flexibility keeps the momentum alive from technical glitches to last-minute changes.

ππ§π¨π° ππ‘π ππ¨π§πππ§π: Confidence comes from understanding the themes, like gender-lens investing, that shape the event.

When planning the Orange Forum, we wanted it to beΒ more than an eventβwe pictured it as the movement in action. Amplifying impactful voices and driving meaningful change reminds me why Iβm passionate about connecting people through purposeful communication.
