Official Feedback from In-Person & Virtual Events

"The way Binnaz hosted the sessions with the retailers were impressive. She was kind, warm and challenging at the same time with her questions opening up for deeper discussions and connections." - Business Plan Weeks, IKEA

"Binnaz captures the interest of the audience immediately. Then she takes them through a journey of being in the moment and heading to the future in the most welcoming yet pragmatic way possible." - DT&CX Summit

"Binnaz was awesome and her facilitation was excellent. She’s full of energy and loads of knowledge about what she does, she can make the room comfortable in a matter of seconds and make even the most reluctant talk." - Deloitte University EMEA

"Thank you for such a lovely workshop/think tank session. I had an absolute great time and really enjoyed seeing AI from your perspective - AI Unplugged works!" - SPARQzone & AI Unplugged

"Binnaz was great - I really enjoyed the sessions she covered. She was very engaging, curious, and held time for us to respond - allowing awkward silences for people to collect thoughts and not rushing. She felt very safe." - AI4ALL
