Conference/Event MC

It is always an honor to be asked to MC an event, for event organizers to put their trust in me to deliver an engaging, entertaining experience.  

I see the role of MC as the link between the audience, the speakers, the content and the experience.  Behind the scenes and prior to the event, I like to connect (phone, zoom or in person) with all of the speakers to better understand what they will be communicating, and to ensure that I link their messages to the overall theme.  My intros of speakers are never reading their bio – that’s boring!  I’m all for sharing something a little deeper than that, to help the audience connect with the human behind the titles and accolades.

My role is about understanding the deeper outcomes and key themes that the organisers are wanting to convey, and to be completely up to date with current and emerging issues in specific industry events.  And, of course, to ensure that the day progresses smoothly for all involved.  

My style is conversational, humorous (where appropriate) with simple messaging and high energy. (and occasional blasphemy….hope that’s ok! – if it’s not, I’m probably not your person….)  #justsaying

My role is to be in service of the event. Low-maintenance for organizers, High-energy for audiences.

If this sounds like what you are looking for, I’d love to chat further.

PS.  Part of this chat will involve the uncomfortable ‘cost’ conversation.  MC-ing is part of my job, it’s not a side gig that I do for fun (my accountant keeps reminding me that “free is not a viable business model”…. and of course, he’s right). 

If you’re still keen, let’s talk and see if we are right for each other!  

 

Pip Loader

Client Feedback:

"As part of Tauranga’s annual Groundswell Festival, the Business Women’s Network held a lunchtime panel discussion with three trailblazing innovative women. This year we were fortunate to have Pip Loader MC our event. Pip did an amazing job as MC in both the event lead up, and during the event.
Pip quickly gained rapport with both the speakers and the audience. Her lively personality and amusing personal anecdotal stories kept the event upbeat and engaging. She gave great summaries of each speaker’s presentation capturing their key points and underlying messages."

"Pip is an outstanding MC. She is articulate, funny and engaging. Her language is simple yet her messages powerful. She is able to pick up the theme of an event, encapsulate its essence and compel you to stay engaged. She clearly does her homework to ensure a smooth and connected flow to an agenda. She brings a great enthusiasm, passion and energy to her work”.

"We recently had Pip Loader MC our 2-day conference along with our Gala and Awards Dinner. She was nothing less than magnificent. From the moment we first called Pip, there was an instant connection, and our conversation left us in no doubt she'd be a great fit for our event. One of her special gifts is her ability to weave relevant stories throughout the conference sessions that keep the audience entertained and the engagement and enthusiasm levels high. Not only were her stories relatable, relevant and humorous, they were perfectly curated over the 2 days allowing her to bring her overarching story theme from the conference together in a masterful climax at the opening of the gala dinner. It was pure genius to watch and listen to.

Prior to the conference she also asked for the names of a few of our customers to speak to and get a feel for what it is like to walk in their shoes. She did this so her messaging and stories were audience relevant and hit the mark – and they sure did. Her conference opening story had everyone ‘tuned in’ right from the start and even our Chief executive specifically noted what a great opening it was.

In all my time working with MC’s, Pip was the first person to have requested to speak to people who would be in the room, and the difference it made to the event was significant, making the conference even more meaningful and memorable.

She has a warm and vivacious personality, and her sense of humour and often needed quick wit meant that there was never a dull moment. The facilitated Q&A with our speakers was thoughtful and relevant, she was flexible with changes and timings, quickly made friends with the AV Tech and venue staff, and essentially made my job as Conference Manager easy and hassle free. She does and has it all when it comes to the attributes we all want in an MC. She is the complete, and nicely wrapped, package!

If you are looking for an entertaining, engaging and enthusiastic MC to take your conference to the next level and make it memorable and magic, Pip Loader is exactly who you need. "
