Darren Isenberg

A good conference host does more than read out names, and Darren Isenberg treats the job that way. He introduces each speaker, wraps up after their presentation and uses humour to keep the room with him between sessions. He facilitates and runs training as well, which is handy when your program mixes keynotes with workshops. Before any of this he taught economics at a secondary school, and he's kept a strong interest in how people learn. His clients span several industries and include ANZ, Spotlight, LG Electronics, Coca-Cola and the Commonwealth Bank. He's based in Sydney.
