Andrew Klein’s aim is to make your event memorable by injecting energy and humour, whilst maintaining the professionalism and respect for the organisation and people.

​Andrew does extensive research for each event so he’s familiar with the industry, people, products, sponsors, jargon etc. During the sessions, he sees his role as to keep them on track, on time, on theme, do all housekeeping, including sponsor acknowledgements as well as injecting energy and fun. Where possible, towards the end of the conference, he will often prepare a humorous (often poetic) rhyming summary of the key events and happenings at the conference, which has become a favourite amongst my many repeat clients. Bottom line, people learn more when they are engaged in the conference messages and having fun.

​Kicking the sessions off on a high note, introducing speakers in a more personal manner, interviewing sponsors, adding humour and zest to the sessions (Plenary or Concurrent), facilitating panels, running Q & A sessions, hosting dinners…..all of these elements can be run seamlessly and really ensure this component of your conference achieves maximum impact.
