Testimonials:

In September 2015, NBCUniversal International produced a seminal panel discussion regarding the Digital Single Market as part of the annual Royal Television Society conference in Cambridge. As moderator, we required a European affairs expert, who could knowledgeably and credibly manage a sensitive and inflammatory debate in front of a senior, well-informed media industry audience. The panellists held vastly opposing views (including a member of the European Commission) and the session was reported widely in industry and national press. Due to her excellent credentials, we chose Katya Adler as our moderator and found her to be a consummate professional; at all times pleasant and accommodating to work with, thoroughly well-prepared and entirely knowledgeable on the topic, with an inclusive, balanced and authoritative manner on stage. She also managed to articulate a complex subject in terms easily understood by the audience. The panel was widely lauded as the best of the RTS lineup that year and our experience of working with Katya was flawless. I would highly recommend Katya Adler as an excellent partner.
