With over 280 registered, the numbers attending throughout remained constant which is testament to the quality and his ability. Michael is a very polished MC, and by adding the event production to his bow is extremely talented delivering a great event.

We all had an amazing time at our 2013 La Porchetta Annual Conference in Pinnacle Valley resort. Michael Pope was the MC for the event. Michael was very highly rated in our feedback forms and we all enjoyed his style and surprises throughout the two days. Michael is personable, down to earth and a pleasure to work with. Michael’s delivery techniques were excellent. He got to know his audience very quickly and tailored his delivery to suit us. He was flexible and happy to amend the agenda as required. I would most definitely recommend Michael to other organisations, his card tricks are also amazing. Thank you Michael for your contribution to our great event.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Michael Pope on a number of occasions and I consider him to be one of the most experienced and professional comperes, hosts, producers et al that I know.

Thank you, Michael for contributing to what was another outstanding conference at Hamilton Island. As emcee your ability to manage the agenda with a perfect blend of humour made for a memorable conference for both the delegates and the plenary and break out presenters. Should you wish to ever promote the plenary session you delivered on Presenting Skills, I would gladly offer myself as a referee. The content of the presentation was outstanding and the talk amongst the room afterwards was that it will surely help our franchisees to run more effective seminars and customer meetings.
Michael Russel: CEO Mortgage Choice

Michael please accept my thanks, you were a wonderful MC for the evening, you had the audience laughing and having fun in minutes of taking over the lectern.  We all appreciate the amount of effort that went into preparing your material, it was topical and effective, most comedians would prepare a show that would be used over and over again, but you prepared for just the one evening, this is why we think you were so special.
Star City Sydney

You have an amazing ability to capture the attention of children, while amusing their parents at the same time.  I have not seen you perform for sometime in public but Saturday reminded me of why your name has remained familiar to me.

Management and staff take this opportunity to thank you for a night which will not be forgotten. Your professionalism in managing the night was nothing short of sensational and we could not have chosen a more enthusiastic and crowd pleasing MC.

AFI Awards

Thanks for your fabulous performance - it really gave our evening the feel we were looking for. We've had great feedback - immediately after, and continuing today. The general feeling was that people admired the fact we could poke fun at our industry, and not be so serious all the time. Your performance ensured our clients will be talking about our event today and in the future. Can't thank you enough.
Haygroup

Michael Pope worked like a charm, especially the "roving reporter" segment he did on the Vision truck with our Marketing Manager. It is hard to keep the audience's attention when it comes to product presentations, but Michael made it happen. I was very impressed with his professionalism and involvement in the night as if it was his own. He was a great choice.
Mack Trucks Australia

As the MC of Brainwave's 10th Anniversary bash Michael Pope single handedly made the night a huge success. This year, with Michael's clever wit and bubbling energy, it was turned into a tremendous hoot as he initiated, organised and played with the audience resulting in total attention to the business at hand, enabling the charity to achieve a most successful result whilst guests were totally entertained. Thank you Michael for a superb job.
The Function Group

Michael Pope was very good, he made sure the awards ceremony kept moving and didn’t drag on and mixed in a bit of humour with it but was serious when needed too.
Crown Ltd

Very Good. Michael did a really good job of bringing an unexciting topic to life! He engaged the audience well, made everything relevant and importantly made us laugh! Proceedings went by smoothly and without any lulls.
Department of Primary Industries

Michael Pope was very professional and handled the evening with ease. His knowledge of our Industry was great and he seemed to get the right information and conversation out of our Suppliers and Guests on the night. We have received many comments from our guests on the night and they have all commented on what a great job Michael did. We were extremely happy with his performance and enthusiasm at our Trade Expo!
Bowens - The Builders Choice

A laugh a minute.  Audience engagement and interaction was terrific.  A real buzz in the room and it was great to see all the guests laughing and enjoying the night.
Star News Group

Michael Pope embraced the EEAA brief and spent time pre-event to understand our industry – this was reflected in his content and his capacity to pitch his performance to our delegates. There was very positive feedback all round – he kept the conference moving along nicely and provided fun “magic tricks” that kept the audience engaged, upbeat and focussed. He was a delight to deal with and I’d gladly re-hire him for a future event. He is a very skilled talent and I think we only got a glimpse of his versatility and talent.
Exhibition & Event Association of Australasia

Second year in a row we have engaged the services of Michael Pope. Had some concern that he might repeat material from last year. Couldn’t have been more wrong. He was fresh and professional and struck the right balance of humour and respect for the awards component of the evening

Victorian Planning & Environmental Law

Michael Pope has a very special way of getting under the skin of a conference program so that he seamlessly becomes part of the family within minutes. His ability to generate the appropriate level of humour and interaction within a conference is executed with a sensibility towards delegates and the client that few other MCs can pull off. Constantly thinking outside the box during our recent event, Michael was also able to contribute valuable suggestions for subtle improvements as the event unfolded. He is an absolute professional and we would not hesitate to have him back again.
Gener8 Events

I just wanted to say thanks for your contribution to our recent convention. This is our 4th convention since switching things up and making it an annual event, and the overwhelming response from delegates is that this has been our best event to date. Whilst there were a number of areas that we changed as part of our ongoing improvement process I think that one of our biggest wins was to engage you as MC for the event. What I really appreciate is the opportunity to work with true professionals in their field and you are no exception. You were quick to get a feel for our delegates and handled them with a level of fun and sensitivity that made them all feel comfortable whilst climbing out of their comfort zones. The humour was well directed and always cleverly integrated into the whole.
Robert Bosch (Australia) Pty. Ltd.

I’d like to express our sincere appreciation for the excellent job you did as our MC on Saturday. Contractors are not the easiest people to deal with but you effectively held then in your hand brilliantly for the whole Earth awards session. You provided a good mix of subtle and direct humour which delighted many, and thank you for stopping in its tracks, the remark from one of our sponsors that had the potential to  become inappropriate (he later felt like an idiot for getting into that space). I also felt your 10 minute card trick/phsyc test was an excellent addition to  the night,  it created a very nice transition from the business end to the party end of the night. All in all a great night, we’ll give you the date of next year’s function so you can keep it free.
