Professional Emcees
Corporate Event Hosts That Ignite, Inspire & Entertain

The Emcee sets the tone — you can trust our emcees to bring the energy, expertise, and entertainment that transforms your event from good to legendary. At Engagement Unlimited, our Emcees are professional actors, facilitators, and keynote speakers with the rare ability to read the room, uplift your audience, and keep every segment on track and on time — all while making people laugh, connect, and feel engaged.

Roger Haskett leads the roster with 34 years and 1,100+ organizations hosted — including Google, Microsoft, RBC, and KPMG — alongside a team of associate emcees who carry the same actor-facilitator foundation.

"That's one of the rare skills of a GREAT EMCEE — reading a room properly even when your own nerves get in the way. Our emcees are professional actors, facilitators & keynote speakers who do exactly that, for a living. When things go wrong on a stage, you need an emcee who has this rare skill. That's what Engagement Unlimited provides."

Roger Haskett has emceed events for 1,100+ organizations over 34 years — including Google, Microsoft, RBC, and KPMG — and holds a 92% rebooking rate.

"Our emcees are professional actors, facilitators & keynote speakers. When things go wrong on a stage, you need an emcee who has this rare skill. That's what Engagement Unlimited provides."

EU emcees are trained to read the room, adapt in real time, and hold an audience through any transition — skills built from careers on stage, screen, and speaker platforms. Roger holds 150+ film and television credits (X-Files, Stargate, Supernatural) alongside 34 years of corporate event work; every associate emcee on the EU roster carries the same actor-facilitator foundation.

"The last one to know how you did in the room is you. When you're under stress, your impressions are not to be trusted."

That's the gap actor training closes. EU emcees have spent careers learning to read what an audience feels — not what they're projecting. Improv training adds the ability to pivot in real time, hold a room when tech glitches, and keep energy moving without the audience ever sensing a problem.

Our emcees host annual conferences, gala dinners, award ceremonies, sales kickoffs, holiday parties, multi-day association events, leadership summits, and product launches — for groups of 10 to 3,000+ in Metro Vancouver, Whistler, and across BC. Roger's longest-standing DMC partners book EU programming into Fairmont, Westin, Marriott, and Sheraton properties throughout the region. If your event type isn't on this list, tell us what you're planning — we probably have a format that fits.

"We meet with each client to learn about their goals for the event, then customize activities and content to maximize engagement."

The fit depends on format, audience culture, and what you need in the room — a high-energy game-show host, a polished awards emcee, or a warm facilitative presence for a leadership summit. Roger is available for most bookings; associate emcees cover additional dates and multilingual needs (English, French, Italian, and Spanish).

"When things go wrong on a stage, you need an emcee who has this rare skill. That's what Engagement Unlimited provides."

Roger threads engagement through every transition — that's the difference between a host who manages a schedule and one who manages a room. Thirty-four years of actor training, improv coaching, and live event work is what makes calm under pressure reliable, not lucky.

A real host for your virtual event — not just a Zoom moderator.

Our emcees have hosted hundreds of virtual and hybrid events, from 3-day virtual conferences to hybrid gala evenings. The same skills that make a great live emcee — reading the room, managing energy through transitions, holding the run-of-show — translate directly to camera. The platform changes; the discipline doesn't.

Contact Engagement Unlimited with your event format and we'll tell you who fits best.

For major galas, annual conferences, and multi-day association events, 3–6 months out is the sweet spot — Roger's calendar fills earlier than most planners expect, especially for fall conference season. That said, EU has covered events booked the week before and run them flawlessly. Tell us what you're working with and we'll tell you honestly what's possible.
