Behind the Scenes: Esther Luiten & Roxanne Nanninga

Esther Luiten and Roxanne Nanninga

Bringing over 500 of the leading figures from our industry—and from all corners of the globe—together each year is no small feat. Months of planning and preparation go into making the GSF what it is, and ahead of our fifth edition this September, we wanted to hear a little more from the people who bring the forum to life.

For our first ‘Behind the Scenes’ chat, we caught up with two of the most important people in the GSF family, Esther Luiten and Roxanne Nanninga. Esther has been a vital part of the team since its inception, while Roxanne has worked alongside Esther in developing the programme of the forum for the last three editions.

In this discussion, they lifted the lid on what it takes to bring this most global of industries together for three days each year, as well as the parts of their role which fly under the radar, and the things that make the GSF special to them.
