Ronny Eriksson Hosting
Event host and moderator in Finnish, Swedish and English
A host holds the conversation so your speakers can be at their best: preparation with them beforehand, and one thread through the day.
When it helps
- A conference or seminar that needs one voice through the programme.
- A panel that should become a conversation, not four monologues.
- An interview, a podcast or a live conversation on stage.
- An audience that works in more than one language.

What working together involves
- Before
- a call with you on the running order and what each part is for, then preparation with every speaker, so the questions build on what they came to say.
- Moderation
- a panel becomes a conversation: I keep the thread, keep the time, and ask the follow-up the audience is already thinking.
- Transitions
- introductions and hand-overs written for each speaker, and a close that ties the day together. One programme, not a list.
- The room
- questions from the floor, and the audience brought in whenever the day needs air.
What it is for A programme that feels like one event, and speakers given room to make their point.
