مرحباً، أنا سيلفي

Casablanca does business in Arabic and French, often in the same meeting, and that feels familiar to me. With an Austrian mother, a French father, a Spanish grandmother and an Italian grandfather, I grew up moving between cultures long before I knew there was a word for it. Morocco’s busiest city, with its ocean, its ambition and its hospitality, is a stage I’m always glad to step onto.

For nearly twenty years I sat on your side of the table. I led the leadership academy of Europe’s largest retail and tourism group, decided which leaders rose, and booked the speakers who stood in front of them. I partnered with executives from Hong Kong to Hamburg, so I know that a great keynote travels well only when it respects where it lands.

I’ve been married to a German for more than twenty years, and his suitcase could pass a military inspection. My passport is always ready, my second office is an airport lounge where I put his packing principles to good use, and the United States has been home for over a decade. Casablanca is always worth the flight.

Two keynotes, built for your Casablanca audience

Forever Human keynote by Sylvie di Giusto
Future of work & AI

Forever Human

The better the machines get, the more your people will set you apart.

AI just made everyone equally capable. Sylvie names the ten moves a machine still can’t make and shows your audience how to lead, sell and connect with the human signals technology can’t fake.

Why it lands in Casablanca: in Morocco’s business capital, leaders want to know where AI pays and where people still win. This answers both.

The Power of Choice keynote by Sylvie di Giusto
Leadership & sales

The Power of Choice

What your people know rarely gets them chosen. What others see in them does.

Clients, talent and the room decide in seconds. Sylvie reveals the five dimensions that quietly decide who gets kept, followed and chosen, and how to shape them on purpose.

Why it lands in Casablanca: in a city where relationships and hospitality open every door, it turns trust and reputation into skills your people can lead with.

Step inside it

Planning a conference in Casablanca: local insights

Business travel is booming here: an industry expert quoted by Finances News Hebdo put Casablanca’s business-travel overnight stays at nearly 2.8 million in 2025, up 15 percent on 2024. Here is what helps when you plan yours.

My planner tips for Casablanca

  • Respect Friday midday. The weekend is Saturday and Sunday, but many businesses slow down around Friday midday prayers, so a morning or midweek slot works best for the keynote.
  • Check the clock during Ramadan. Morocco moves its clocks back one hour during Ramadan, working hours shorten and evening iftar events replace daytime hospitality. Double-check every virtual and hybrid session time.
  • Plan around November’s fairs. Africa Food Show Morocco (17 to 19 November 2026) and ELEC EXPO (25 to 28 November 2026) keep the city busy, so book hotels early.
  • Taking it on the road? Team Casablanca up with Marrakesh, or hop across to Madrid and Barcelona, for a tour that spans Africa and Europe.
  • Make the evening unforgettable. Arrange a guided visit to the Hassan II Mosque by the ocean before dinner, or close the night at Rick’s Café, the city’s nod to its own movie legend.

Questions planners ask about Casablanca

Who is a good international keynote speaker for a conference in Casablanca?

Sylvie di Giusto is a CPAE Speaker Hall of Fame keynote speaker and has worked with leaders across Europe and Asia. She delivers two keynotes, Forever Human on the human edge in the age of AI and The Power of Choice on how people get chosen, either on a traditional stage or as the world’s first 3D immersive keynote.

Can the keynote be tailored to an international audience in Casablanca?

Yes. Every keynote is researched and customized for your people, your industry and your theme, and Sylvie’s multicultural background helps her connect with audiences of many nationalities in Casablanca.

Can the 3D immersive keynote be staged in a Casablanca venue?

Yes, wherever there is a stage and a room that can go dark. Sylvie’s team works directly with your Casablanca venue and AV partner, checks the floor plan early and sends the full tech requirements. See how the experience works.

Which keynote fits an AI or technology conference in Casablanca?

Forever Human. It shows audiences the ten moves a machine still can’t make, and turns AI anxiety into a clear plan for the human skills that grow in value as technology gets better.

Which keynote fits a leadership, sales or HR event in Casablanca?

The Power of Choice. It reveals the five dimensions that decide who gets kept, followed and chosen, and shows people how to shape those judgments on purpose. It is built on Sylvie’s book The Image of Leadership.

Sylvie is based in the US. Does she travel to Casablanca?

Yes. Sylvie speaks in more than 25 countries. Her team handles travel and logistics, so you work with one contact from the first call to the show.

Can we book Sylvie through our local speaker bureau?

Yes. Sylvie partners with speaker bureaus around the world. If a bureau already supports your event, Sylvie’s team will work directly with them from the first call to the show, so you keep the partner you trust.

What about visas, permits and other formalities for a keynote in Morocco?

Sylvie’s team handles it with you. Sylvie speaks internationally all year, so her team knows the paperwork a cross-border keynote can involve: business visas or work permits, invitation letters, and any tax forms Morocco requires for foreign speakers. They check the requirements for Morocco early, tell you exactly what they need from you, and take care of the rest, so nothing stands between your date and the stage.

How far in advance should we book a keynote speaker for Casablanca?

As early as your dates are set. Peak conference seasons in Casablanca fill venues and hotels fast, and the 3D immersive keynote needs a few weeks of custom work for your audience. Check availability to hold your date.

Can Sylvie speak virtually or in a hybrid format for a Casablanca event?

Yes. Both keynotes are available in person, hybrid or virtual, and each version is customized to your audience and theme.
