We felt that your approach, energy and investment in the Summit was that of partner and not someone employed. We were so grateful we chose you as an MC, your involvement and participation was integral to the success and wonderful feedback we received regarding the Summit.
Terry Robson is an accomplished MC. He recently MCed our Annual Awards Dinner and we were delighted with the contribution he made. Terry ensured he was familiar with our organisational mandate and spoke with ease and interest about topics which had resonance for our audience. He has an easy manner, inserts light humour to relax participants and overall did a fantastic job at ensuring our Awards dinner moved smoothly and fluidly through the agenda. We recommend his friendly and open style and are immensely grateful for a job very well done.
We had the rare opportunity to engage Terry in Singapore and Malaysia and were much impressed by his wealth of knowledge in complementary healthcare. Terry was engaged to conduct several public forums featuring the global trend towards complementary medicine and addressing health concerns of both countries. Importantly, he undertook numerous media interviews on behalf of VitaHealth from the leading press and magazine titles in both countries. Terry's enlightening and informative talks were most insightful and very well received. He touched on the key benefits of Integrated medicine and spoke of immunity, weight management and cardiovascular health management topics. Our forums were well attended by media, our business associates and our ardent consumers. Many had truly benefited much from Terry's seminars and interviews and had words of praise for him subsequent to the event. Terry is a confident and a profound speaker with grace and ease on stage. Importantly, he keeps his listeners interested and motivated. Terry's interaction with the public and media during his trip had provided VitaHealth a successful platform to address and boost consumer confidence in the aftermath of the PAN saga. His media exposure had indeed proven to be a fruitful and insightful PR and branding exercise for VitaHealth.
With an audience of 900 delegates and a full program of 20+ speakers in a day, the Happiness & Its Causes conference MC needs to keep the show moving with flair and grace - and this is exactly what Terry Robson delivered. Terry was a debonair MC with a great knowledge of all things related to wellbeing - perfect for Happiness & Its Causes. His introductions were entertaining and informative and designed to suit our fast-paced format. For any large scale events, you know you’re in safe hands with Terry at the helm!
