Benjamin Maio Mackay

Keeping an event to schedule without the room noticing is Benjamin Maio Mackay's real skill. Over 20 years Benjamin has hosted crowds as small as five and as large as 12,000, at conferences and community events, engagement parties and weddings, awards nights and gala dinners. The work goes beyond MCing. There are keynotes on communication, creativity, media and leadership, panel moderation and Q&A hosting, and options to combine speaking and hosting across a full day. The background is broad: programs on ABC Radio, hosting at major festivals and expos, and acting credits in musical theatre, fringe festivals and Off-Broadway productions. Bigger functions need a microphone and PA, and talks with slides need a lectern, projector and screen. Paperwork is in order too: public liability cover, first aid training, a police check and a WWCC. Benjamin is based in Adelaide and works right around Australia.
