Grace Dobush is a freelance journalist available for conference hosting, live interviewing and panel moderation in Berlin, across Germany and worldwide.
I’ve had the privilege of working with many organizations providing panel and conference moderation, including the Alfred Wegener Institute, Hamburg Research Academy, the French Embassy in Berlin and Leuphana University. I am especially experienced in talking about business, tech innovation, science, climate change, design and creative entrepreneurship, but I’m curious about most everything. My ongoing improv comedy training helps me quickly adapt to any situation with humor and grace.
I was responsible for programming and comms at the conference Midwest Craft Con for three years, coordinating speakers, designing schedules and creating an event that delighted 200 mid-career crafters from around the U.S. I’m very interested in conference coordination and content planning on a freelance basis.
I’m a native English speaker and speak German at a C1 level. I’m available as a host, moderator or panel leader anywhere in the world — email me to get in touch! These are some of my past speaking engagements:
