Master Of Ceremonies (MC)

Petris Lapis is the MC who cares about your participants, your speakers and how well your event is running. She is always well prepared, warm and engaging. At a recent National Conference, the keynote speaker messaged organisers to say how delightful the MC was. Petris creates an inclusive and welcoming atmosphere at your event and has a kit bag full of things to do when speakers are running late or finish early.

Petris has experience in running both face to face and hybrid events with both streamed participants and streamed presenters. She is the MC you want if you are after a warm happy atmosphere where everyone feels special and welcome.

“Petris Lapis is a born MC and has always been a delight to work with. She has been the MC for numerous large events that I have both organised and worked at and she always gives more than expected. Petris fully understands the audience and the expectations of the team. I highly recommend Petris as a true professional who is very generous of her time and dedication to her role as an MC.”

“What a brilliant session! Thank you so much for your honesty, inspiration and being so genuine with the audience… Huge applause! I am sure people will remember a lot of the stories and examples you shared as they really resonated with the audience at the personal level. We have already received a lot of great comments from attendees. I recognised myself in many of the stories that were shared and I am sure this was the case for many other participants, over 400 people watching and a lot of attendees will be watching the recording.”
