An ongoing series of keynotes, panels, TED stages and podcasts — nationally and internationally — on regulation, consumer rights and the Dutch coffeeshop model.
In addition to my strategic and substantive work for the coffeeshop sector, I am regularly invited as a speaker, panellist and guest on podcasts. These engagements allow me to make complex themes such as cannabis regulation, the weed experiment (wietexperiment) and banking issues accessible and understandable to a wider audience.
Through my contributions, I aim to put regulation and legalisation on the agenda as a necessary step for future-proof cannabis policy, to prioritise consumer rights through harm reduction principles, and to connect entrepreneurs, policymakers and consumers. Furthermore, I position the Dutch model as a best practice in European and international discussions.
Through keynotes, panels and podcasts, I work to raise awareness and foster connection — bridging differences, sharing insights, and strengthening the collaboration needed to make progress.
