We recently returned home from our Annual Conference on the Sunshine Coast. Michael Pope was our MC for the entire three days and nights of Conference, and his contribution helped to make it our best one yet. Michael was dynamic, entertaining and professional. He worked closely with the venue’s AV team to ensure the visuals ran correctly and our conference sessions ran perfectly on time. This was particularly important on the very full middle day, but Michael moved things along smoothly, and with flair! Michael is incredibly gifted when it comes to getting the audience revved up and excited. He used magic, audience participation and some great one liners to get everyone involved, and had the whole group laughing and cheering together. I would not hesitate to recommend Michael to anyone seeking an outstanding MC, someone to add a little something to your next event. However, I don’t want him to get too swamped, we want him back for next year’s Conference too! Connective
Michael is such a highly talented and skilful MC who engages audiences in a way that he puts energy and buzz into any audience. He goes above and beyond in his preparation and research of the client, their audience and key messages / themes. Michael is also able to "wing it" and ad lib when necessary due to technical issues or last minute changes to agendas or presenters which is a highly valuable asset to any Producer in the live events space.

I would like to take the opportunity to thank you for the wonderful job you have done in hosting a variety of Master Builder’s events over the years. The entertainment that you have provided our members, both at regional and state events, where numbers range from 150 to 600 has been outstanding … your brilliant wit and wide repertoire has charmed the various audiences that have attended these events. From pre-function to stumps, you are always ‘switched on’. Our guests speak highly of you well after the event. Master Builders Association
We all had an amazing time at our 2013 La Porchetta Annual Conference in Pinnacle Valley resort. Michael Pope was the MC for the event. Michael was very highly rated in our feedback forms and we all enjoyed his style and surprises throughout the two days. Michael is personable, down to earth and a pleasure to work with. Michael’s delivery techniques were excellent. He got to know his audience very quickly and tailored his delivery to suit us. He was flexible and happy to amend the agenda as required. I would most definitely recommend Michael to other organisations, his card tricks are also amazing. La Porchetta
Just a quick note to let you know that Michael Pope stole the show on Saturday night - every single bit of feedback from guests has been that "Michael was the star"! He more than earned his keep on stage and they simply loved him! He is an absolute professional who reads his brief, does his homework and never misses a beat. AFI Awards
