You have the venue. You have the agenda. You have 400 people in the room and a run of show that has to work. Who holds it together?

What does a corporate emcee do?

A corporate emcee is the host of your event: the person who opens the day, introduces speakers, keeps sessions on time, handles the unexpected, and carries your theme from the first welcome to the final send-off. Kraig Kann has emceed for Rolex, Hilton, UL, the 2016 Rio Olympics and dozens of conferences, bringing seventeen years of live-television hosting to your stage.

Why hire a former broadcaster as your emcee?

Live television is the best training an emcee can have. When a segment runs long, a guest no-shows, or the teleprompter dies, the show still goes on and the audience never knows. Kraig brings that same steadiness to a conference stage: tight transitions, on-brand energy, and the ability to interview a CEO or a keynote guest on the fly and make it the best part of the day.

What is included when Kraig emcees your event?

  • Pre-event planning call to learn your theme, culture, speakers and goals
  • Scripting help for opens, introductions and transitions
  • Live hosting for the full day or multi-day program
  • On-stage interviews, panel moderation and audience interaction
  • A short keynote segment if you want to combine emcee and keynote roles

Who is this for?

Sales kickoffs, annual conferences, award galas, association conventions, sports business summits and golf industry events. If your event has more than a few speakers and a theme that matters, an emcee protects the investment you have already made in the room.

How do I book Kraig as an emcee?

Share your dates, city and a rough agenda. Kraig will tell you quickly whether it fits and what it would look like. He can also pair the emcee role with one of his keynotes.

Remember This: Own the moment or miss the opportunity. Your event only gets one opening.

What do event hosts say?

His natural charisma on stage, coupled with a fantastic intuition, allow us (as the meeting hosts) to just sit back and let him take control. Importantly, Kraig knows how to weave into his emcee duties the theme and culture of our event.
