Effie Gerez

A Venezuelan-Spanish raised in Chicago. Currently, living in London after graduating from Plymouth University. Having studied Events and Entertainment Management I am now one of the Event Managers here at Speakers Corner, where no two days are the same – I get to listen to talented speakers, meet clients, draw up contracts, manage briefing calls, arrange travel itineraries and solve any last minute set-backs before each event.

I love planning/coordinating events just as much as I love attending them, that’s why I am always on the lookout for any fun festivals, concerts, talks or comedy show to attend.

Outside of work you can find me at my local gym (mostly on the treadmill), catching up with friends, cooking Spanish food or purchasing skincare products at 1:00 am (because it’s never too much)

I am also very passionate about discovering new places, cultures and meeting new people. Some of my desired destinations for the future are Portugal, Dubai, Hawaii and Argentina.
