On The Level: Hosting and Event Facilitation Package
Professional, warm and thoughtful hosting and event design for purposeful organisations.
Many organisations want their events to feel engaging, inclusive and well held. A great host brings people together, sets the tone, builds energy and ensures speakers feel supported. With over 15 years of experience convening leaders across sectors, I offer a calm, confident and people centred approach to hosting, facilitation and event design.
This package is ideal for conferences, leadership events, panel discussions, away days, awards ceremonies, internal culture days and community gatherings.
What we offer
Event hosting & panel chairing
Clear, confident and human centred hosting that brings your agenda to life. I set the tone, hold the energy in the room, connect the threads between sessions and ensure all speakers and participants feel welcomed. I work closely with speakers beforehand, shape the conversation, keep time and ensure a balanced, high-quality dialogue.
Keynotes
Short keynotes and fireside conversations on leadership, EDI, culture, community building and leading with purpose. These are tailored to your theme and audience.
Agenda design
Support to design a clear and compelling agenda from start to finish. I help you shape the narrative, sequence the sessions, build variety and ensure the event lands with purpose and impact.
Full event design, speaker sourcing and audience generation
I can also design events from scratch and curate a full programme for you. This includes:
Developing the concept, purpose and narrative for the event
Designing a balanced and engaging flow across the day
Sourcing excellent speakers, facilitators and panellists across a wide range of topics including leadership, EDI, climate action, business strategy, wellbeing and social impact
Bringing in high-profile contributors from my networks where appropriate
Preparing speakers so they are aligned, confident and ready
Helping you generate strong attendance through targeted outreach, clear messaging and tapping into relevant networks where appropriate
Managing the structure, timings and overall experience
This is ideal for organisations wanting a professional, cohesive and meaningful event without the pressure of building everything internally.
