Why use an MC for your conference?
Every conference and seminar can benefit from the services of a professional MC. Leaving the job to members of your committee is a poor second option and can make the difference between the success and failure of your event.
A good professional MC is like another pair of arms and legs. He or she can be involved in the development of your program and from their experience will be able to help you shape your program for optimum effect.
Your MC is a lynchpin in the running of your conference or seminar. They provide a consistent standard in the introduction and presentation of speakers, ensure sponsors are adequately recognised and can infuse the event with some light humour.
But we don't have a budget!
A professional MC is not an expense; it's an investment in your conference. Once you begin using a professional conference MC, you'll ask yourself how you ever managed without one.
Your MC becomes the public face of your conference and elevates it from just a conference to a professionally run event.
Besides, most good corporate MCs are not as expensive as you might think!

Gerry Gannon is the best MC I have worked with. He is funny, professional, vibrant, engaging, extremely accommodating, supportive and knows how to generate audience participation and is a fantastic interviewer.
Nikki Graski, EventEdge International
As MC of the Retirement Village Associations State Conference, Gerry lifted the Conference program to new heights. He not only kept speakers on track, he engaged them in discussion with delegates and facilitated a highly interactive forum. Delegate feedback was extremely positive and it is our intent to invite Gerry back next year to MC our 2007 Conference.
Mary Fraser, Chairperson, Conference Committee, RVA Ltd.
Thank you so much for your efforts at the Western Rescue Symposium. Your professionalism, wit and great sense of timing was appreciated by us all. Feedback from the symposium has been extremely positive and there have been many favourable comments on the role you played in making the tight program such a success. Thank you!
Russell Stevens, Fire and Emergency Services Authority of WA (FESA)
There is no doubt your facilitation of the event was a major contributory factor to its overwhelming success and this was attested to through the evaluation survey forms.
Your presentation on "Making and Maintaining your Relationship with the Media" was entertaining and informative and the evaluation indicated it was beneficial to the audience.
