What makes a good event host or hostess?

They need to be good communicators, able to talk to people and approach strangers with confidence. They also have to be able to listen. As professionals, they are capable of coping with the long hours involved in events that have the potential to be very tiring.

Every host or hostess must be presentable and friendly, defusing any stress or awkward situation that might arise. They are proactive and take the initiative, not waiting to be told what to do.

They are aware that they are the public face of your company. If they look good, and relate well to all visitors, then it creates a good impression of your business – and helps to ensure the success of your event.
