Why do we need an emcee?
The emcee, also known as the master of ceremonies can make or break an event. A skilled and charismatic host will be able to work the room and set the tone of the event, keeping the crowd engaged and focused.
Should anything go off track, the emcee will be able to pivot the event back on schedule with ease. You'll want someone who can drive your agenda and keep the audience entertained, especially for those long events.
Hold on, you might be thinking that you could probably get someone from the office to do it instead to reduce cost but just because the person is talkative at work doesn't mean that they'll be great at interacting with a crowd and navigating the challenges that may arise during the event.
