“From the moment Ben stepped on stage, his energy and charisma was really engaging, setting the perfect tone for the entire conference”
Energetic. Engaging. Seamless.
Companies spend months planning their conference – the agenda, the speakers, the venue, the AV -but give very little thought to the person tying the whole thing together.
Get it wrong and the day feels flat, transitions feel awkward, and the entire audience disengages. That’s why brands like Coca-Cola and Google trust Ben to host their conferences.
With a background in live TV, world-class magic, and over a decade working on conference stages, he doesn’t just keep your event running smoothly. He sets the energy for the entire day.
He doesn’t just introduce speakers, host fireside chats or panel discussions – he elevates everyone who takes to the stage. From first-time presenters to your CEO.
Ben becomes an extension of your team. He reads the room, shifts gears when the energy dips, and makes sure your audience stays switched on from first session to last.

Any Questions?
Q: What does a conference facilitator actually do?
A: A conference facilitator hosts the entire day – opening the event, introducing speakers, hosting panels and fireside chats, managing transitions, and keeping the audience engaged from first session to last. The best facilitators also read the room and adjust the energy in real time. Ben brings all of this, plus moments of magic and humour that keep the day entertaining as well as informative.
Q: Do I need a professional host for my conference?
A: Many companies host internally or use an industry journalist. Both can work – but neither is designed to keep 500 people energised for a full day. A professional conference host like Ben sets the tone, manages the flow, elevates your speakers, and makes sure your audience stays switched on throughout.
Q: How does Ben prepare for a conference?
A: A pre-event call is essential. Ben runs through the agenda, learns about your audience, speakers and key themes. From this call, Ben will also help to recommend how best to use him throughout the day.
Q: Can Ben host panels and fireside chats?
A: Absolutely. He is there to help with anything that happens on stage. If you need him to interview the C-Suite or chair discussions or Q&As, he will happily do so.
Q: How far in advance do I need to book Ben?
A: As early as possible. Popular dates – especially autumn and awards season – fill up months ahead. Get in touch early to check availability for your date.
Q: Does Ben need an autocue?
A: No. Ben is more than comfortable hosting without one. If you’re looking to save budget, this is one area you can easily skip.
