[VIRTUAL EMCEES OR HOSTS]
With more conferences going online the top virtual MCs and hosts have never been more in-demand but selecting the right one can be a challenge.

Done well, virtual meetings and events can be a highly effective way to inspire, educate and entertain your employees, clients, and partners. However, too many virtual events are dull and deliver a low return on your investment in terms of time and money.

Why not invite top virtual emcees and hosts Alison Burns & James Taylor (AKA The Ethical Futurists™) to co-host your virtual event. Alison Burns has hosted for broadcasters including the BBC and Channel 4, as well as acting as MC and host for both live in-person and virtual events. Meanwhile, James Taylor has acted as a virtual emcee for global clients including Cisco, Globant, Fractal Analytics, Micro Focus, and multiple event production companies.

Together they have hosted intimate virtual events for 50 people all the way through to large multi-speaker virtual and hybrid conferences for tens of thousands.

● Virtual Conferences and Summits
● Virtual Fireside Chats
