Does your event need someone who can bring the room with them?

Hosting an event is about much more than introducing the next speaker. The right host helps create the atmosphere, connect the different parts of the programme and keep the audience engaged throughout.

Good to know

Every event is different. Mandi’s role will be shaped around your programme, audience and what you need from your host.

Mandi will work with you beforehand to understand the event and prepare for her role. You’ll need to provide the agreed programme, speaker and contributor information and any other relevant event details in sufficient time for preparation.

Where panel moderation forms part of the event, we’ll agree what you need from Mandi and how the panel will fit within her wider hosting role.

Any travel, accommodation or other event-related expenses will be discussed and agreed with you in advance where applicable.

Mandi’s role is event hosting and agreed preparation. Full event design or production, event management, venue or supplier management, speaker booking, production of event materials, technical/AV support and extensive scriptwriting are not included. Additional requirements can be scoped separately.
