Sandra Kiel

  • Managing Director at Event Punks

Sandra Kiel is the Playpreneur behind Event Punks – a woman who doesn’t just follow change, but drives it.

As a Microsoft MVP for Mixed Reality, she blends technology, emotion, and purpose into a unique mix of creativity and impact. With more than 15 years of experience in project and event management across industries, Sandra has always asked one essential question:
How can technology empower people instead of replacing them?

As co-founder of Event Punks, she’s redefining what gaming and metaverse experiences can be – bold, unconventional, and always with heart. Her latest passion project, a pro bono game for Sea Shepherd, proves that games can inspire empathy, raise awareness, and make activism playable.

Sandra believes the future belongs to those who act with purpose – not just with hashtags.
