Moderators who run real conversations, and panelists worth listening to. Real prices upfront, shortlist in 24 hours.
Most panels drift. Four smart people take turns giving mini-keynotes, nobody disagrees, and the audience leaves with a pleasant blur. The difference between that and a session people quote afterward is almost never the panelists — it is the person holding the microphone in the middle.
A great moderator does invisible work: pre-calls with every panelist, a question spine with real tension in it, the discipline to interrupt kindly, and the instinct to chase the answer that just got interesting. We screen moderators for exactly that, separately from how well they give a keynote.
We serve conference programmers, association events, and internal summits that need a session with genuine friction rather than four agreeable monologues. Panelists and moderators can be booked together or separately — tell us which seats you need filled and we'll shortlist for exactly those.
Someone who runs the room, not the mic.
Not an announcer reading questions. These moderators prep every panelist, build tension into the spine, and chase the answer that got interesting — priced upfront, shortlisted in 24 hours.
The difference between a memorable panel and a pleasant blur is almost never the panelists. It's the person in the middle.
Real moderation is prep: pre-calls, a question spine, and the nerve to interrupt kindly.
Three panelists plus a moderator is the sweet spot. More voices, less thinking.

Five questions every organizer asks — tap one.
An internal host works when the room is friendly and the goal is warmth. Bring in a professional when the topic is contested, the panelists outrank each other, or the session has drifted in past years — a neutral moderator can push in ways a colleague can't.
Either. Many organizers have their own panelists and need only the moderator; others ask us to curate the whole table for balance of perspective, sector, and background. Tell us what you already have.
Three plus a moderator is the sweet spot for a 45-minute slot. Four is workable with a firm moderator. Beyond that, airtime per person drops below the point where anyone can develop a thought.
3–6 months is comfortable for a curated panel, because you're aligning several calendars rather than one. Moderator-only bookings move faster, and we've filled seats in 72 hours when someone dropped out.
Moderators start from $3,000 and panelists from $2,500, with our 17.5% printed inside. A fully curated panel is quoted per engagement, since it depends on how many seats and which profiles you need.
