Closing moments at last week were heartfelt-to me, the culmination of relationships built. As emcee, my job is to set the rhythm-invite voices in, connect dots across sessions, and amplify the heartbeat of the room. The payoff? Folks didn’t just leave with notes; they left with allies. That’s what makes innovation stick long after the lights fade.

Huge appreciation to the Hexnode team and every attendee who showed up open, curious, and generous. Here’s to more rooms where connection fuels what’s next. 🙌

October's hosting started with a bang at user conference in NYC. A delightful collaboration for first ever in-person conference. Forging New Frontiers in tech and innovation as we heard from leadership and thought leaders on the future of endpoint management.

Appreciate Sarika's recommendation: "I had the pleasure of working with Amy during HexCon, Hexnode's annual event, where she served as the energetic and engaging emcee throughout the event. Amy's professionalism and enthusiasm brought a dynamic energy to the event, keeping our audience captivated throughout. In addition to her excellent hosting, she also moderated some engaging panel discussions too.

Her ability to connect with our audience while maintaining smooth coordination with our team made the entire experience truly exceptional. Amy is a standout professional who brought her best to every aspect of the event, and I highly recommend her for any future hosting or emceeing opportunities!”

Grateful for the internal team and guest speakers. Enjoyed our conversations both on and off mic. Honorable mention to Jay's shout out regarding teleportation and the future. Great takeaways from everyone! You all were amazing to work with, and I so enjoyed connecting with your users and partners too! 👏

✦Virtual Event Emcee and Live Broadcast Host✦ Creating engaging virtual events is the talk of the meeting and conference planning industry. Dare we say the word on everyone's mind lately - "pivot"? While we may miss the in-person energy and connection of live events, the good news is that audience engagement is still possible in a live broadcast and virtual event! And, you could argue, that energizing presence may be more important than ever to tie themes together, engage audiences to interact with each other, and maintain focus with distractions lurking near attendees' screens.

✦ Corporate Event Emcee (MC) and Host ✦

Corporate Events have a much greater success rate with an energetic, engaging, charismatic, credible Event Host and Emcee. The Emcee guides the event, serves as the voice and face of the event, and keep things moving with poise, grace, warmth and impact.

Clients will have peace of mind that an experienced professional is handling their event hosting and driving the train on stage. Attendees will participate in dynamic, engaging sessions, resulting in more engagement and higher satisfaction post-event.

✦ Trade Show Presenter ✦

Trying to communicate and connect with crowds and attendees in a distracting, noisy, busy environment can be challenging. As a trade show presenter, I provide professional, credible, engaging presentations to draw people to your booth, inform attendees about products and services you provide. This frees up your team to engage with customers in their level of expertise.

Hiring a professional presenter allows you to maximize the value of your trade show investment with increased traffic, brand recognition and more qualified sales leads.

✦ About Me ✦

I was born to perform and connect with audiences. Rooted in medical and technical backgrounds, I earned a B.S. in Biopsychology. It was in college through the continual study of theater, dance and communications that I realized my true passion...connecting with and empowering people through speaking and performing. For the last 10 years I’ve been bringing my ability to “become the brand” to corporate events.
