Nerida Conway is a presenter, MC, facilitator and podcast host whose warmth, wit and easy command of a room have made her one of the most sought–after voices at events across Australia. With more than two decades of experience in journalism, communications and live event delivery, she has interviewed industry leaders, moderated high–stakes panels and hosted stages for corporate, government, hospitality and community audiences alike, bringing the same polish and presence whether she’s welcoming five hundred guests or drawing out a single compelling story. 

As creator and host of That Food & Wine Show, featured on Virgin Australia’s inflight entertainment, Nerida has built the podcast into a respected voice in the food and wine industry. Now in its 10th year, the show reaches audiences across Australia via Virgin Australia, Spotify, and Apple Podcasts. 

A hospitality business owner in her own right, Nerida brings more than theory to the stage. She understands what it takes to run a room, read a crowd and deliver an experience that reflects well on the brand behind it,  knowledge that shows in every introduction, cross and ad–lib. Known for her approachable style, Nerida creates an atmosphere where everyone feels comfortable contributing and connecting. 

Nerida is available to host conferences, awards nights, panel discussions, industry forums and special events, and to facilitate workshops and strategic sessions under her communications and leadership practice.
