HOST FLOW TEMPLATE

This is what you need to prep your host. Events can be enhanced by the addition of a professional host who is tasked with keeping the event on schedule and maintaining the overall flow and theme of the event.

It is critical that you properly prepare your host to ensure he/she is armed with all of the necessary information. It is important also to ensure that your host is intimately aware of the overall event timeline, his/her role, comfortable with the presentation and/or AV equipment and aware of all required introductions and tasks.

The attached template is a sample host flow that includes all key slides and notes used to cue the host.

It is important to ensure the font is large (14+ point), easy to read (double spaced) and that most information is in bullet form (hosts are able to ad lib and create their own energy and should not be asked to read verbatim notes unless a biography or introduction is required). All names of people referenced should be written phonetically.

You will note the corresponding PowerPoint slide is referenced with each note to ensure the host is clear on his/her cue.
