Happy to Host
As a Master of Ceremony, you set the scene and tailor the tone. You are the first voice on stage, and that grants you the unique opportunity to engage with the audience and welcome the participants to an experience rather than an event.
As a skilled stage host, you are introducing high-level keynote speakers and panel members. You are connecting the dots through active listening, and subtly conveying the main messages and overarching themes by virtue of thorough preparation.
As a moderator, you are facilitating round table discussions and entertaining a dynamic debate between policy makers, subject matter experts and captains of industry. You are blending in questions from the audience and from online participants. And you are carefully keeping track of topics to be addressed, attention to be divided, and time slots to be respected.
