About

Hello, I'm Chloe.

Portrait of Chloe Richardson

When the stakes are high, your event needs more than just a host.

I'm an emcee, moderator and content strategist. For over two decades I've stood on stages across five continents — award ceremonies, fireside chats, multi-day global conferences, C-suite summits, sporting events and broadcast studios — hosting more than 400 events and counting.

I bring a distinctive, captivating energy to the stage, balanced with warmth and intelligence — so your audience stays engaged and your event is in a safe pair of hands.

I don't just help you run an event. I help you make it matter — from leading the stage to shaping the strategy behind it. Sharper content, smoother delivery, and the kind of takeaways your delegates actually quote on LinkedIn on their way home.

Event emceeing

Conferences, summits, trade shows, awards nights and gala dinners — polished stage presence, sharp scripting and real warmth in the room.

Fireside chats & panel moderation

Deep speaker prep, custom question sets and the agility to follow the conversation where it actually wants to go.

03

Keynote presenting

Keynotes on personal branding, leadership communication and the future of events — delivered with conviction and credibility.

04

Session presentation

Individual session hosting, breakout chairing and broadcast-style segment presenting for in-person, hybrid and virtual stages.

Forward-thinking agendas, scripts, speaker briefs and narrative arcs — built from real audience research, end to end.

Preparation

Before the Spotlight

The energy you see on stage starts long before the microphone is on. I bring the same care and curiosity to the preparation as I do to the room.

01

Know the room

I get to know your audience, your objectives and the conversations that matter — so the content feels relevant, not rehearsed.

02

Prepare the people

I work with your speakers to shape thoughtful questions and a clear flow, helping them feel at ease and ready to bring their best to the stage.

03

Shape the story

From scripts and introductions to the links between sessions, I build a narrative that keeps your agenda connected and your audience engaged.

What clients say after the lights come up.

Chloe emceeing from the podium at Event Leaders Exchange
I LOVED working with Chloe. Super professional throughout: thorough and well prepared onsite, an excellent speaker onstage, with a quick mind able to react and ask meaningful, deeper questions. Any event organizer would be mad not to hire her.
Nick Dugdale-Moore
Regional Director for Europe, UFI — The Global Association of the Exhibition Industry
Chloe is an incredible partner. She understands our audience deeply and ensures every piece of content adds value. The pre-work she puts into session development with our speakers is unlike anything I've witnessed before. She is also an incredible emcee.

Most memorably, we worked on a female leadership event — Chloe moderated, chaired the discussion and co-wrote the question set. She truly cared about the event and went the extra mile. I've worked with many content strategists and Chloe is my favourite.
