Alex Ranahan – Conference MC & Awards Host

Description

I’m Alex Ranahan, a London-based Conference MC, Awards Host and Corporate Event Presenter with hundreds of live, virtual and hybrid events hosted and more than 500 five-star reviews.

My job is to bring the room together, support the people on stage and keep the programme moving - while taking pressure away from you and adapting calmly when timings or plans change.

I create energy without creating awkwardness.

My style is warm, quick-witted and dependable: corporate-safe without being stale, energetic without overpowering the room, and engaging without forcing reluctant guests into the spotlight. Confident guests can get involved, while quieter guests can still feel part of the event without being put on the spot.

I host conferences, awards evenings, gala dinners, leadership events, company celebrations, interviews and panel discussions - from one important segment to the first welcome through to the final close.

I have hosted audiences of up to 1,400 and worked with organisations including Amazon Web Services, Virgin Media O2, Microsoft, Google, Disney, Pfizer, LEGO, LinkedIn, L’Oréal and the NHS.

Before every event, I take time to understand your audience, objectives, speakers, tone and running order. On the day, I work closely with you and the production team so your speakers feel supported, your audience stays connected and the whole event feels confidently led - not simply read from a script.
