Live & Virtual Event Emcee

As an emcee, I am passionate about hosting events that are tailored to your needs and grounded in your messaging. With a background in acting and performance, I bring awards shows, celebratory events, and moderated Q&As to life with my energy, humor, and enthusiasm.

Throughout the planning process, I will work closely with your team to highlight key messaging, spotlight presenters, and elevate the experience of your attendees.

Testimonial

"Debs was engaged to emcee with us on a series of Hackathon events (interactive and non-interactive ones) and she was great to work with! Even though she was engaged only 1 day prior to the first event, Debs was quick to pick things up and she hosted the event really well with the participants staying engaged throughout! She has a lovely energy around her, a great smile and is quick to think on her feet! This really made a difference on the way the events were delivered and we received nothing but positive feedback from both our client and the participants!

We highly recommend Debs for any emcee/hosting engagements and will definitely continue engaging with her going forward!"

Emcee Capabilities

01

Live Events

The energy and excitement of a live event is unmatched - having the opportunity to meet with people face to face, hear the stories of presenters, and experience something unique and special cannot be replicated in any other environment. As a live emcee, I match the energy of your event, guide both attendees and speakers through the live event experience, and help them tell your story.

03

Awards Shows

During Awards shows, it's not just the presenters who get to shine - it's the attendees, too! I approach awards shows by first understanding and exuding the tone of the event, and ensure the entire evening is entertaining, inspiring, and meaningful for award winners and attendees.

05

Comedic Elements

While live and virtual events primarily help tell your story and share your messaging, entertaining attendees, is an important part of the job! Adding in comedic elements helps keep the audience focused, engaged, and excited for what's to come. Whether it be a funny video filmed ahead of time, a short, live skit, or a comedic interview with company leadership, comedic elements with surprise and delight your attendees - they also happen to be my forte!

02

Virtual Events

Whether you're avoiding in person gatherings for health and safety reasons, or are simply looking to tell your story to a wider audience in a more convenient setting, virtual events should look and feel like a TV news broadcast. Your virtual event emcee is there to make sure presenters shine, the event runs on time, and feels both personal and professional at the same time.

04

Q&A Moderation

As a Q&A moderator, my primary job is to listen and guide the conversation based not only on the information the attendees are most interested in, but what the interview subject is sharing. In addition to asking pre-determined questions, putting the interviewee at ease, and asking thoughtful follow up questions based on live answers, I communicate authentically with the interviewee, helping their personality shine.
