How I can help

Dr Craig Wing speaking on stage

MC, hosting and moderation

While Craig specialises in keynotes, lectures and workshops, he is often asked to MC and host high-level events.

The golden thread

His ability to weave a coherent “golden thread” across speakers and his infusion of humour and relatability are hallmarks of his MC skills.

MC and hosting

While Craig specialises in keynotes, lectures and workshops, he is often asked to MC and host high-level events. These engagements are typically rare given his busy schedule and commercial comparison doesn’t always match standard keynotes. When he does, Craig is often praised for his high energy, being able to carry an event across a full day or multiple days. His ability to weave a coherent “golden thread” across speakers and his infusion of humour and relatability are hallmarks of his MC skills.

Moderation at scale

10th BRICS Summit

At the 10th BRICS Summit in Johannesburg in July 2018, he moderated the session on the Fourth Industrial Revolution with representatives from Brazil, Russia, India and China, on a day attended by President Xi Jinping, Vladimir Putin, Narendra Modi and Cyril Ramaphosa. This exceptionally high-level event was incredibly well received for balancing technical discussions and the impact of technology. Watch from 3:16:06

Moderation at scale

He moderated at the African Innovation Summit in Kigali in June 2018 on building institutional frameworks for innovation, alongside the Rwandan Minister of Finance (watch the Kigali session).

In 2026 he hosted the Real Estate Industry Summit, having delivered its keynote the previous year to an audience of over 1,000 people. Contrary to previous years, Craig brought a synthesis and moderated conversations so natural that the day flew past.

In addition to the above, Craig has hosted full-day sessions for Nedbank, Barclays, United Nations Development Programme, and many more.

“I have never experienced a moderator with such high energy. Usually, it drops after lunch but Craig was not only able to ensure it never dropped but increased it with his humour, off-the-cuff jokes and generally keeping the audience engaged throughout the day.”

Preparation
hardens decisions.

He takes bookings for keynotes, MC and hosting, workshops and advisory work, both directly and through speaker bureaus.
