Facilitator of Transformation

What I love most, is to be on stage and engage, inspire and teach an audience. With my master classes and keynote speeches, I have travelled the world and have been lucky to engage audiences from all kinds of cultures, backgrounds and contexts. I love to be in front of 20 people, and I love to be in front of 1000 people, as long as I am able to make each and every one of them leave with saying: I learnt something!

Moderator

I enjoy moderating events that touch on innovation, design, tech, trends or social impact. I am always prepared but love to be open and catch those spontaneous moments and feelings that make the experience of an event memorable.

Speaker

My mission is to unite and inspire towards a global learning society, based on creative methods, design and systems thinking, for a truly sustainable future. I speak about this at events, conferences or corporate settings.

I am also a very experienced facilitator for design, co-creation and inspirational sessions.
My style is informal yet rich in content, with plenty of bite-sized learning moments, creative methods and fun.

Clients

Small selection of companies I worked with, events I presented at.

Marco’s contribution to United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) work to promote the Sustainable Development Goals was excellent. He never disappoints anyone although we work remotely and internationally.
I find his enthusiasm and dedication both inspiring and motivating.

Hana Omar (former UNDP, New York, US)

Marco's unique blend of transformational thinking, engaging presentation style and personal commitment will continue to inspire our campus community far beyond these events. I look forward to more opportunities to learn from and collaborate with him

Overall, a very inspirational story and great presentation! Marco is able to inspire, explain and delight the audience! I was very happy with Marco’s appearance in Barcelona and decided to also invite him to speak at our seminars in New York and Mexico City in the same year. I highly recommend Marco van Hout as a speaker and expert in consumer psychology, emotion and design.

Thierry Lageat (Director of Eurosyn, Paris, France)

I learned and benefited a lot from having followed these courses. He might have even inspired me to pursue a doctorate in design. BRILLIANT course, this is the type of caliber all of the professors should have! - a former student of Marco

Marco was an amazing mentor to me and helped me find a new path in my career, combining design and social impact. He really cares! - a former trainee of Marco
