Why Hire a Professional Event Moderator?

FAQ

What is the importance of having a moderator at your event?

In the past, a moderator was often seen simply as a presenter. Today, their role has evolved far beyond that. Skilled moderators and facilitators now guide entire programmes, create flow, and help audiences connect with complex ideas. Many also serve as keynote speakers or guest experts, adding depth and perspective to the conversation. A professional moderator elevates your event — ensuring not only smooth facilitation but also meaningful, memorable moments.

What makes a great moderator or facilitator?

Speakers Academy® works with some of the best moderators and facilitators worldwide. But what defines a truly great professional in this role?

Excellent communication style: Great moderators help every speaker perform at their best while keeping the audience involved and inspired. With an open and engaging way of communicating, they directly influence the energy, flow, and atmosphere of an event.

Stage presence: The natural ability to capture attention, engage the audience, and stay in service of the programme.

Organisational skill: Managing time, flow, and agenda while ensuring all participants feel comfortable and valued.

Empathy and awareness: Reading the room, knowing when to add humour, when to summarise, or when to ask the tough question — guiding the dynamics with subtle precision.

Problem-solving ability: Responding quickly and effectively to unexpected challenges or moments on stage.

Objectivity: Listening and summarising without judgement, leading discussions neutrally while still asking critical and insightful questions.

Preparation: A great moderator is always well prepared — familiar with the speakers, organisation, topic, and audience. This often includes pre-event conversations, following relevant news, and aligning with the organiser’s goals.

What are the costs of hiring a moderator or facilitator?

The cost of hiring a moderator depends on various factors, including the professional’s experience, the duration and size of the event, the level of preparation required, and whether the event takes place online or on-site. Fees can therefore vary significantly.

At Speakers Academy®, we understand that every event is unique. Our consultants will gladly help you find a moderator or facilitator who fits both your goals and your budget. Contact us for personal advice and discover who can add the most value to your conference or event.
