In 2026, Confidants will help its clients create smoother and more energetic events with a new event host joining the Confidants team of professional speakers. Marika Häkkilä has worked as a host for various events and podcasts. Her expertise lies in making both the audience and the performers feel at ease on stage.

“With Confidants, I’m excited to explore what happens when creative expertise enters environments such as business, organisations and the public sector. When perspectives from different worlds come together, there’s room for new thinking, insight and surprising ideas. It’s inspiring to be part of enabling these encounters as a host, interviewer and moderator, and to encourage curiosity and thoughtful dialogue as part of this collaboration.
I’m happy to join Confidants’ positive creative activism movement, and I look forward to creating spaces that foster new thinking and meaningful conversation.”, Marika Häkkilä.

“By having Marika as one of our speakers, we can also offer more hosting for panel discussions, conversations, and interviews at the events we provide for our clients. Marika has a fantastic attitude and a can-do mindset that helps keep the spirit high,” states CEO Laura Köönikkä of Confidants.
