Hosting and curating.
Veronica takes on whole talks programmes - shaping the questions, choosing who is on stage, and holding the room across a day or three. In 2026 she co-curated and hosted Entering the Now, the official symposium at 3daysofdesign, Europe's second-largest design festival, in collaboration with Tey Bannerman. The line-up included Paola Antonelli of MoMA, Alice Rawsthorn, Anupama Kundoo, Yinka Ilori and Natsai Audrey Chieza. She also hosts awards, conferences and events.
