Bio
Ghislain Giroux Dufort
Summaya is a Conference Producer for Marcus Evans based in Kuala Lumpur. I have had the pleasure of working with her when I was invited to be the International Workshop Leader at the Marcus Evans Risk 360 Conference in Dubai in November of 2014. I have been impressed by Summaya's professionalism as a producer throughout the event: from defining the content of the program to organizing the conference and making sure all aspects of the event went smoothly while in Dubai. I highly recommend Summaya and would work again with her without hesitation.
