An absolute must

To be fair, it was only thanks to the good advice of the people at ReadMyLips that Filip De Rycke came onto our radar as a moderator for a political debate. And that's a shame because good, professional and perfectly bilingual moderators are few and far between. On September 18, 2024, we organized a morning with ACV-CSC METEA about the June elections and the ongoing government negotiations with political scientists Carl Devos and Jean Faniel. Thanks to moderator Filip De Rycke, the debate went smoothly and no topic was avoided. Perfect timing, tough questions and a clear structure made it a morning that will continue to resonate for a long time. Special compliments also for the meticulous preparation in the run-up to the debate.

Strong content moderation

Exactly 1 month before the local elections, we were able to call on Filip to moderate the local Kopstukkendebate in Lebbeke.
After a very pleasant introductory conversation, Filip made sure that he mastered the local material and sensitivities. This was only possible through thorough preparation, in which Filip himself got to work very proactively. A real added value for the assignment that he carried out.

A very pleasant collaboration, both personally and professionally.
For our next assignment, Filip will be at the top of our list of people to contact!

Filip, a reliable partner

Working with Filip is a real pleasure. With him, I can sleep soundly, certain that the work will be done perfectly.
Filip invests a lot of interest and determination in the preparation. He is really interested in the topics of the conferences he presents and does not hesitate to think with us to improve them. His availability is remarkable. The day before a crucial event, he generously agreed to save the day by taking a last-minute replacement.
Since 2021, Filip has been the soul of our conferences, brilliantly hosting 3 to 4 events per year.

Dedicated, professional and sympathetic

Together with the Central Business Council, we engaged Filip as moderator for our two events, which we organized together with the European Economic and Social Committee in the context of the Belgian Presidency of the Council of the European Union.

Filip accomplished this task with great distinction. Throughout the entire process he was extremely accessible, genuinely interested and very committed in his preparation to optimally fulfill his role. He delved into the matter, asked many questions, obtained information from third parties, was very understanding and flexible, and proactively took initiatives. During both events he fulfilled his role as moderator/master of ceremonies with great competence. He managed to seamlessly connect the different parts of the day, initiate discussions, respect the timing perfectly, interrupt people when necessary, ask the right questions and take the event as a whole to the next level.

In short, we were extremely satisfied with Filip. This feeling was confirmed by several attendees who explicitly told us that they thought the moderation was excellent. Moreover, the collaboration with Filip was very smooth and pleasant. We will definitely contact him again for future events!
