The audience is actually my event management course peers (all 80+) of them and the handful of guest speakers I have invited to present. Knowing my audience helps a lot. Another thing is that my area of expertise is sort of relevant. As a developing event manager I got into this area because I just love playing the hostess. It's a great feeling to know that what is going on is entertaining people so much - and that I ran the day! Playing MC is to a degree the same thing but on a more... public side to it I think. Standing in front of an audience and all. In the end I know I'll feel great about how I've done, providing nothing major goes wrong! Really, this article is quite helpful. I'll take a note of these points while I'm writing up my prompters tonight :) Feeling much better about it already! Conference tomorrow and I’m the mistress of ceremonies!
