Moderator

A moderator leads the conversations during an event, gathering, gala, meeting, or conference.

A skilled moderator follows the main thread of your event, drives the discussion forward, and keeps the participants interested.

As an outsider, the moderator brings a perspective that can contribute new angles that enrich the meeting. 

He or she asks unexpected questions, creates an exciting dynamic in interviews, and ensures that interviewees stay on topic. 

The participants on stage feel freer and more confident in their roles with a reassuring, professional presenter to lean on.

A skilled moderator also listens actively and is good at capturing questions from the participants. 

To succeed in their role, the moderator carefully familiarizes themselves with the requirements of the meeting. The moderator studies the content strategy and talks with key personnel during the upcoming event. 

The content producer and the moderator can, in many cases, be the same person.
