Working with Nick is so inspirational I was indeed taken with his knowledge, experience and expertise, an outstanding speaker, both charming and entertaining"
"Nick Ayton is a dynamic speaker, expert moderator, and captivating master of ceremonies. Mr Ayton has looked after our asset www.familyofficesummit.ae for the last two years, controlling the operations of the stage, curating panel conversations, preparing names like Pakistans Richest Man Hussain Dawood, to family dynasties like Von Siemens and lastly UAE Royal Families. His contributions to the Family Office Summits have been instrumental in creating engaging and thought-provoking events. Nick has a unique ability to connect with audiences and panelists alike, drawing out valuable insights and ensuring that discussions remain relevant, insightful, and compelling. His mastery over complex topics—from deep tech and quantum computing to the future of longevity—bridging private capital with trade economics – has made him a standout presence at our summits.

"Nick has a way of getting through to audiences by scaring them a little, then making them laugh. A thought leader and futurist I very much enjoy listening to him"
"I had the privilege of working very closely with Nick on a few occasions. As event planners & managers, we have a lot of our bearing dependent on the Master of Ceremony! The best planned event, still relies heavily on the punch the MC brings about. Nick is a natural presenter and audience love him! His eloquence, understanding of audience pulse for the moment makes his narratives look fluid and sounds impactful. As a moderator his depth of knowledge across subjects as intense as geo politics, economics, present day logistics and trade, to cutting edge AI technology, jump to medical interventions – he wears multiple hats with ease. I am sure he would undergo needful prep, but his moderation of panels each with subject matter experts on the other side, calls for special skills and can test even the best of talents. Nick is an event manager’s dream MC. With him opening the show, we are always at ease but I should warn you, one needs to have an agile lighting engineer to keep up with his movement on stage."
"A crash course on Quantum Computing, its allure and reach. Nick will set you right where technology is today and where it will take you next. Dive into various universes that will open up what you’ll learn.Beware you may need to rethink your plans!"
