If you want to make your events and conferences more engaging and interactive, you'll be interested to hear from my guest today Roy Sheppard. A delegate once wrote on their feedback form "Roy Sheppard breaks more ice than the Russian fishing fleet!" Roy has a background as a BBC news presenter and reporter – but for the past 25 years he has worked as a specialist conference facilitator and MC. Listen out for Oscar the rescue dog making his podcast debut. Bio Roy Sheppard is a specialist conference and international congress MC, facilitator and workshop speaker/trainer, in particular, corporate and association medical and technology events.

As a speaker, he is the acknowledged European expert on building profitable business relationships through networking and presentation skills coaching. He has spoken at conferences all over the world. Roy works on high-profile conferences for some of the world's largest and most respected organisations.
