What do clients say about Virtual Keynotes & Emcee Hosting?
“
“Recently Roger helped my team with a 3-day virtual event with 300 attendees. Like with in-person conferences and events, his energy was contagious and he kept the conversations flowing from start to finish. Between sessions he injected fun with dance and stretch breaks to get attendees moving. I was skeptical in my belief about how much energy could be achieved in a virtual environment and was blown away by the end result. The coaching and assistance he offered each presenter in those moments when he came into the virtual green room and helped us count them down to live alleviated anxiety and uncertainty. Having a professional speaker as an emcee ensured that he was able to weave the close of one day into the opening of another, creating continuity and bringing so many meaningful and thought-provoking conversations to the forefront. Roger was really the glue that held all the pieces of this virtual event together in a fun, meaningful and engaging way. He didn’t miss a beat.”
Sherryl Parsons, President / Event Manager, Rare Affairs

“Thanks for all of your Haskettness in our virtual leadership sessions. Survey Says — Virtual Roger almost as good as the real thing. First timer attending sessions today says ‘that guy is awesome — so much energy — so funny.’”
Darrell Jaggers, CIO & Chief Transformation Officer, First West Credit Union

“I saw you last year and was curious how the virtual experience would go, but your energy, passion and insight were amazing. At one point I thought to myself, ‘the confidence of a man dancing on a virtual conference, where he can’t hear or see anyone to feed off of, has to be through the roof.’ Awesome job!”

Why Virtual Keynotes & Emcee Hosting Work So Well
You get a performer, not just a presenter.
Roger Haskett is an award-winning keynote speaker with 150+ TV & film credits and 33 years on stage. That background means he knows how to hold attention through a screen the same way he holds a room of 500.
Virtual doesn’t mean passive.
Our keynotes & workshops are built for interaction — live polls, movement breaks, direct audience engagement. Your team participates, not spectates.
Your emcee holds the whole event together.
For multi-session or multi-day virtual events, a professional emcee creates continuity, supports presenters behind the scenes, manages Q&A & keeps energy high from first click to last goodbye.
Every presenter gets supported.
When Roger emcees your virtual event, he coaches each presenter in the virtual green room before they go live — calming nerves, cueing transitions & making sure every session lands.
Tested, proven, trusted.
We’ve hosted virtual keynotes, workshops & full multi-day conferences for organizations including First West Credit Union, Gilead Pharmaceuticals, Nicola Wealth & OPBA. This isn’t new for us.
HOW IT WORKS
Step 1 — Tell Us About Your Event
Call or email with your event details — format, audience, goals & timeline. Whether you need a keynote to open your virtual conference, a workshop to develop your remote team, or an emcee to hold a multi-day event together, we’ll design the right approach.
Step 2 — We Design It Around Your Audience
Roger reviews your event agenda, learns about your audience & builds a customized experience. For emcee work, this includes pre-event calls with presenters & a detailed run-of-show. For keynotes & workshops, content is tailored to your industry, challenges & goals.
Step 3 — Your Audience Experiences Something They Won’t Forget
