GREAT HOSTS MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
Our English speaking MC’s are the best. We balance serious messages with a light touch to support speakers and help events reach their goals. We keep the program on time and the energy up, even after lunch. If any (technical) surprises appear, you’ll want us onstage to think on our feet.
Boom Chicago hosts are knowledgeable in most areas of business, tech and innovation. We interview speakers and lead engaging and exciting question and answer sessions. We wrap up conferences with tailored comedy including the latest from the day.
We love traditional events, digital conferences and everything hybrid. A Boom Chicago host makes the difference and helps bring your event to the next level.
PEP ROSENFELD

Pep hosts high profile events like the Nordic Business Forum where he made Barack Obama laugh. He also hosted The Next Web, Brand Minds, the Accenture Innovation Awards and TEDx Amsterdam… back in the old days when it was still magic. His interviews with thought leaders like Simon Sinek, Brené Brown and Malcolm Gladwell get rave reviews. He’s great to work with too.
