Organisations that book Jess Adamson MC gain one of South Australia’s most trusted and recognisable broadcasters, a presenter, facilitator and MC with a genuine, hard-earned reputation built over 24 years in television news. Jess joined 7NEWS Adelaide in 1997 and spent more than a decade as the network’s crime reporter, building the calm, clear communication skills that now translate directly to the conference stage.
Beyond crime reporting, Jess amassed a huge amount of experience covering major national and international stories for the Seven Network, including the Sydney and Beijing Olympic Games, the Tour de France, the Beaconsfield Mine disaster, the drug trials of Michelle Leslie and the Bali Nine, the 2002 Bali bombings and the devastating Boxing Day tsunami, where she reported from the ground in Banda Aceh. That breadth of high-pressure, live reporting experience is exactly what makes her such a composed and capable event host.

Whether facilitating panel discussions or keeping a packed event program running smoothly, she combines journalistic polish with a natural ability to connect with any MC audience.
Jess is also a passionate ambassador for CanTeen and the Royal Flying Doctor Service, and a board member of the Breakthrough Mental Health Research Foundation and Sids and Kids SA.
