I love to partner with your team in the planning stages. My best clients see me as their “end-to-end event partner”. I love attending ideation sessions to share my experience and expertise with your team, so you have an extraordinary event.
I’m known for meticulous preparation and in-depth research into your company, industry, and event partners. I personally create all the speaker welcomes and session introductions plus a detailed MC run sheet. Everything is created just for your event based on your event briefing.
As your MC on event day my job is to be the glue binding the event together. I work tirelessly to turn your vision, for the event, into reality. During the event I gather key takeaways from each speaker and present them in an audience recap at the end of each day.
Using all the experience gained from delivering over 500 successful events I dive deeper during speaker Q&A, panel discussions and fireside chats. Asking the most thought-provoking questions to uncover crucial insights and key takeaways for your audience. So often an insightful question unleashes the creative juices of the audience.
I currently work with some of the biggest global brands and would be delighted to partner with you to make your next event extraordinary.

The answer depends on your appetite for Risk, because it is a question of Risk vs Reward? With all that you’re pouring in – is it really worth having the person(s) who pull the entire event together on the day “winging it”
Producing an extraordinary conference or event is a huge undertaking. Most conferences will cost in excess of $150,000 to run in addition to a significant amount of both people power and time to ensure a successful outcome.
With such a huge investment the stakes are HUGE and it is vital that your event runs smoothly. You want your host to be professional, eloquent and articulate whilst at the same time generating energy and enthusiasm throughout your event.
An amazing MC will always make the MC role look easier than it really is and whether your event is delivered in person, virtually or hybrid – the pitfalls, risks and issues tend to be similar. This is where the Professional MC comes into the picture.
The use of a Professional Conference Organiser (PCO) is vital to ensure that the event is smooth, planned well and the logistics are managed, BUT coordinating the actual running of the event when showtime arrives needs an experienced Master of Ceremonies.
Let’s be honest, most companies will have someone who is great behind the microphone. But should they really be in control of your event? should they be the glue holding the entire event together?
Comedians can be extremely funny and keep the atmosphere light and entertaining – but will they appreciate the intricacies of your company, industry and sponsors. Are they aware of the what the event actually needs and what your expectations really are?
A professional conference MC will always make the MC role look easier than it really is and whether your event is delivered in person, virtually or hybrid and a great MC will be able to manage any situation.
The short answer is – It Depends.
The average keynote speakers will cost in excess between $10,000 to $20,000 for a one-hour session and many won’t need to be turning up to pre meetings, de-briefs or event shakedowns.
A great MC will insist on planning, on getting involved early on to prepare and plan every detail of your event to ensure you get maximum value from both your investment in the MC and the overall event investment.
In terms of a guide – the investment for a great MC will be about half of what the average keynote speaker will cost.
