What is an emcee and what does he do?
The master of ceremonies at the event of a company, corporation, or organization is the most important ingredient for the success of the entire event. It is the point that brings together all of the different elements that go into organizing a corporate event. The emcee is not involved in managing and operating the logistics of the event (that is the job of the event producer or manager); rather, he artistically masters hosting the event, providing information, creating entertaining elements that connect the participants to the experience, integrating messages and values that are important to the organization hosting the event, and so forth.
Corporate, business emcees introduce the content, the information transmitted, the speakers, the panel discussions, and all of the other parts of the event, and they are the connecting link that makes it all run smoothly, in an entertaining way. The emcee is vital to the success of events such as conferences, launches, exhibitions, company events, team-bonding, investor/partner conventions, and so forth.

Emceeing and Corporate Hospitality
A master of ceremonies is, as aforementioned, the culmination of your corporate hospitality preparations, beginning with the arrival of the guests at the event. By definition, corporate hospitality is all of the processes intended to entertain and cause guests and participants at an event to feel comfortable and enjoy the occasion, whether these are customers, employees, partners, or any other guests. The purpose is to make them feel welcome, show them that you have invested thought and effort in their enjoyment, and to make a positive impression on the participants at the event.
It begins as soon as they step into the venue – the design, the reception, the service by the staff, the food, and so forth. When the emcee connects it all together and manages to provide the ultimate corporate hospitality, which is informative and suits the essence and messages of the event, while simultaneously is also entertaining and enjoyable in itself, the participants leave the event and can sum it up in one word – Wow!
