Kesha Moore, DES is a senior event operations strategist and founder of Rolling With Keke™, known for stabilizing complex conference, summit, and executive convening environments where visibility, stakeholder pressure, accessibility, and operational consequence intersect.

Conference facilitation
Served as a Networking Leader and co-leader for the Swag & Giveaway Ideas room at GURU Eventastic Conference 2026, a large virtual conference for event professionals. The role focused on facilitating fast-moving networking conversations, encouraging participant connection, supporting live engagement, and creating meaningful interaction in short virtual networking sessions.
My public work reflects the same thing my client work does. I help people think differently about what makes event environments succeed, what makes them fail, and what structural decisions shape both outcomes long before attendees arrive.
For media, podcasts, panels, and conferences, I speak to event operations, accessibility-forward planning, operational pressure, governance, and the real conditions that determine whether complex event environments actually hold.
