managed them very well. I would highly recommend him.”

"I would like to add that Tony is one of my favourite MCs - he is a great example of how to prepare yourself before getting to a job - he read EVERYTHING I sent, he looked up websites for research, he worked over the speaker biogs I sent him and familiarised himself with who the exhibitors were. He got there nice and early to familiarise himself with his surroundings, he sought out the who's who on the event and made himself known to them and he made sure he knew where and how everything worked. Tony is also happy to add to the program, where he deems it to be appropriate, plus he takes up-to-date information and slots it perfectly into his reportoire. He is just a terrific operator and I am glad to speak on his behalf to anyone who asks! "
