Eva Balmaks is an expert in community building. Two years ago at the age of 38, she founded the tech startup Winkt with the goal of providing a technological solution for people who are in the same place at the same time to experience community feeling.

Community and a sense of belonging are the biggest issues of our time. As leaders, we must address them on all levels: strategic, technological, cultural, and personal.

Eva will adapt the topic of community building to your audience. Philosophically and academically along the literature or strategically along leadership and investment decisions. Practically along use cases or innovatively along new business models. She has the incredible talent to find a language for each audience and an enthusiasm that is contagious.

To understand community building holistically, Eva connects related topics such as social media, psychology, communication design, and technology trends. She shows examples of community building regarding different industries: Retail, Hospitality, Travel, Entertainment, Content Creators, Creative, and many more. On top, Eva has an expert opinion on ecosystem building and collaboration management.

Eva is convinced that strong community building requires an understanding of inclusion and engagement, of female and male strategies, of introverts and extraverts, of the younger and the older generation.

Eva will also bring the latter to your audience through personal experience. Her life includes a previous corporate career, current startup venture building, a family with three children, and community engagement in cultural diversity. Eva's career will demonstrate that everything in life has its time. She is convinced that each of us can feel deep in our hearts when the time to act is right - and until then, be patient and confident that the present moment has value in itself.
