The ultimate hosting duo returns!
17 Apr 2026
In this moment:
Gwen Diagram
Veerle Verhagen
We are thrilled to announce that the powerhouse team of Gwen Diagram and Veerle Verhagen will be your hosts for MoTaCon! Why are we so excited? Because some partnerships are just meant to be.
They first took the stage together 3 years ago at TestBash, and we haven’t looked back since.
Their energy and connection are genuinely unmatchable. When Gwen and Veerle are on stage, the room transforms.
Expect a seamless blend of industry insights, laughs and that rare powerhouse dynamic that grabs everyone's attention.
MoTaCon isn't just about the talks and workshops, it’s about the people. And with these two on stage, we know MoTaCon is in the most expert (and energetic) hands!

Originally from Portugal but call Manchester UK my home.
I love meeting people, hosting friends and family, snowboarding, food, binge-watching sci-fi TV shows, photography, my family and life itself!

That's a great news! The duo is amazing to see again on stage. A moment to share from previous MotaCon. I would again capture them this year for sure :)
