Di Darmody

Di took our conference to the next level! She was dynamic, articulate and capitated the entire audience with her compassion and professionalism. She embraced the challenges of AV & nervous speakers, and mastered the facilitation of some very difficult panel discussions with ease. Di went above and beyond in preparing for our conference and her energetic contribution onsite lead to its success.

Di is an incredible MC. Warm, friendly, and extremely professional. Di always comes prepared to an event having read our event briefs and speeches, and adds her own touch to our work, which we love. She knows how to lighten the mood and put the crowd at ease which is appreciated by our attendees. Just last night when a few of us were talking to Di, about 8 attendees interrupted us to thank her and tell her what a wonderful job she did. We love Di and will use her for all our future ceremonies. One of the best MCs in Perth. Thank you Di!

Our decision to approach Di to be our Summit MC was a wise one. Di was well prepared, concerned to make sure the day met the objectives we had, kept to timings, and, ran the day in a smooth, but masterful way. Di’s manner is professional, but, easy and comfortable. She brought a sense of humour and was light when needed, and respectful when topics required that. I loved the preparation Di did with questions, so it looked seamless, rather than peering at the screen and going through them on the spot. Di is easy to work with and was focused on getting the best outcome for the day.

The WALGA Convention would just not be the same without the incredible expertise and compering prowess of Di Darmody. Di is anything but an MC who will simply read provided script notes off a sheet, but one who is able to reflect, ad lib and adjust to create a natural and highly personable flow between each of our Convention sessions. We truly see Di as an honorary member of our team and not just a hired MC. She goes above and beyond in the preparation for the event, ensuring that she is across each of the speakers and presentations so that her delivery can be as authentic as possible. A particular highlight was Di’s work in curating a heartwarming conversational piece with iconic Jockey, Michelle Payne. Weaving together iconic footage and imagery to tell this incredible Australian story, Di bought out the best in Michelle and evoked laughter, tears and a burst of inspired energy amongst delegates for day two.

Di was an absolute pleasure to work with – she was professional and friendly and flexible. We had a very challenging day on Saturday from an organisational point of view and Di gracefully adapted to all of the changes. Di was also an excellent facilitator. She was incredibly thorough in her research and this, along with her inimitable style, resulted in really productive sessions (which we expected would be very challenging and fraught with issues). I would not hesitate to book Di again, she was the perfect fit.

Di is an excellent MC, not only did she run our awards with professionalism, wit, and grace, she was outstanding in the lead up to the event in helping with speaking notes and considering the details that ensured it all flowed smoothly. We wouldn’t hesitate to engage her again.
