Narmeen Kamran is the founder of Desert Island Events and Temperance AF, and an advocate for sober inclusion within the global events industry. With over 12 years’ experience delivering international conferences, brand activations and large-scale events, she brings a unique perspective that bridges hospitality, consumer experience and drinks culture. Through Temperance AF, Narmeen specialises in premium alcohol-free cocktails and inclusive bar design, working with corporate clients, venues and agencies to ensure non-alcoholic options are treated with the same creativity and care as traditional serves. Her work challenges outdated perceptions of alcohol-free drinking and champions quality, balance and flavour-first thinking. Narmeen is a judge for the International Wine & Spirits Competition Alternative Drinks Awards, where she applies both operational expertise and lived experience to assess products through the lens of taste, occasion, and inclusivity. She is particularly passionate about innovation in the no and low category, consumer education, and elevating alcohol-free drinks beyond an afterthought. Alongside her work in drinks, Narmeen speaks openly about mental health, personal development and creating more inclusive industry cultures — bringing thoughtful, progressive insight to everything she does.
