Picture of a master of Ceremonies / emcee / conference moderatorMore and more organisations hire professional a Conference Moderator and Master of Ceremonies for a whole range of events from gala dinners to sales conferences.
A professional Moderator / Master of Ceremonies will:

  • Provide essential continuity to the event, helping to ensure its professionalism and success
  • Introduce the speakers and link between them whilst reinforcing key messages
  • Keep the event upbeat and energised throughout
  • Handle announcements and manage delegates during breaks or breakout sessions
  • Keep the programme on time and on track

We know It’s tempting to have one of your own staff fulfil this role, but it’s a high-risk strategy.  Before choosing a moderator or Master of Ceremonies here are some useful questions to consider.

  • Has the potential moderator got experience speaking in front of large groups?
  • Have they got experience managing complex programmes
  • Have they got the confidence and charisma to engage and hold an audience throughout the day
  • Can they think on their feet and respond with professionalism and humour if things go wrong
  • Have they got any video examples of themselves in action either as an emcee or a speaker?
  • Have they got a sense of humour?

At inter-activ, we have a pool of experienced and confident speakers who have acted as emcees and moderators for all sorts of meetings large and small. We can almost certainly find you the right type of emcee for your event.
