“Sam McCool was our awards MC throughout our National 2 day conference in September 2014 in Melbourne. Sam was exceptionally professional from the start of our briefing session’s right through to the event itself. During the 2 day conference, Sam was everything we could have hoped for. He was professional and respectful in his delivery with the right amount humour and warmth and created a great inclusive vibe whilst ensuring that everyone stayed to time and each session ran smoothly. In the breaks Sam mingled with the delegates which created a great vibe. In addition Sam was also our gala dinner speaker, where he unleashed his stand up session. This endeared him even further to our guests. I cannot recommend Sam highly enough to MC any conference or event as an Events Organiser, he is everything you could wish for. He is intelligent, witty and respectful. Many of our delegates commented on their hope that he will return for future conferences.”
