Join the climb.
Bring Maria to your stage, put your company behind a student, host a dinner in your city or give your skills. Every route ends in the same place: a student in a classroom.
A keynote that funds a student.
Every keynote Maria gives funds a named outcome, such as one student's school year. Audiences can give through a simple link at the end of the talk.
- The keynote: resilience, leadership and audacious goals, told through her climbs.
- Books for attendees: signed copies as gifts for your audience or clients.
- A matched giving drive: your company matches what the room gives.
Over the years at Boardroom by EMIR, we've hosted world-class speakers. Prime ministers, ministers and Global CEOs. Yet there was only ever a standing ovation for one speaker: Maria Conceição.

Put your company behind a student.
Companies have funded climbs, bought Maria's books as gifts for clients and sent students to university. Here's how to partner.
Title sponsor
Cover an expedition's costs and tell the story live to a global audience.
Named scholarship
Fund a student from school to graduation, and meet them along the way.
Your Everest team
Enter staff teams each May and match what they raise.
Payroll giving
UK employees give from gross pay, and many employers match it.
Bring base camp to your city.
Small volunteer groups where Maria's supporters live. Each chapter hosts one or two dinners a year, fields a Your Everest team and introduces companies to the foundation.
Dubai
Maria's home. Events run with a licensed UAE charity partner.
London
Home of our UK charity and trustees.
Lisbon
With our Portuguese branch.
New York
With our new US foundation.
Every copy funds a classroom.
Maria's books tell the story in English, Portuguese and Arabic. During the K2 climb she set out to sell 8,611 copies, one for every metre of the mountain.
A share of the proceeds from every book goes to the foundation. Buying for a team or event? Ask about bulk orders with signed copies.
