Master of Ceremonies
A great event isn’t just a sequence of speakers and sessions, it’s a journey, a songline. It has a narrative arc, a consistent energy, and a central theme that is woven through every moment.
Brad brings a unique and modular approach to being a Master of Ceremonies. He uses a distinct set of “building blocks,” born from his upbringing and immersion in our First Nations Culture and deep experience as a world class technology entrepreneur.
Brad works with you to design an event that is not only seamless but also deeply resonant, meaningful, and aligned with your goals. He doesn’t just introduce the next item on the agenda; he connects the dots, synthesises the key insights, and ensures your audience is engaged from the first moment to the last.
Brad’s goal is simple: to help you build an unforgettable event experience.
The building blocks include:
First Nations Opening Ceremony
Yidaki (Didgeridoo) performance
Strategic Storytelling
Panel Moderation
First Nations Closing Ceremony
AI Scribe and Synthesiser
Future Forward Closing
Radical Conversations
“Brad took our board from sceptical to excited within 30 minutes. Then cleared the way for the best strategic discussion we’ve ever had.”
Jane Schwagger,
Director at HNECCPHN
The Building Blocks of Your Event Journey:
Think of these as the foundational elements Brad can select and arrange to create the perfect flow and impact for your conference or award ceremony.
First Nations Opening Ceremony:
Every event can begin by grounding in the spirit of Country. More than a formality, this is a powerful and authentic Ceremony, setting a tone of respect, connection, and shared purpose that resonates throughout the day, enriched with story, song, and cultural learning tied to your theme.
Yidaki (Didgeridoo) Performances:
The profound, earthy sound of the Yidaki can punctuate an event. It can be used to open sessions, create moments of reflection, or bring a unique and powerful energy to the room that cuts through the noise.
Strategic Storytelling:
As MC, Brad weaves a central narrative through the conference—crafting stories that connect one speaker’s ideas to the next, reinforcing the core message and creating a cohesive, memorable experience for your audience.
Insightful Panel Curation & Moderation:
For Brad, a great panel is a dynamic conversation, not a series of mini-keynotes. He curates the right questions and facilitates lively, insightful discussions that uncover wisdom, encourage healthy debate, and involve the audience.
Candid Participant Interviews:
Brad captures the voice of the attendees. Short, on-the-spot interviews (or “vox pops”) from the conference floor can be played back to the room, creating a dynamic sense of community and shared discovery.
First Nations Closing Ceremony:
Every journey concludes with intention. This closing ceremony offers reflection, gratitude, and a final ancient song sung in language, leaving attendees inspired, connected, and with a sense of purpose.

Signature Enhancements for a Future-Focused Event:
To elevate your event even further, Brad integrates unique enhancements drawn from his expertise at the intersection of technology and humanity:
The AI Scribe & Synthesiser:
In a live demonstration of augmented intelligence, an AI tool captures notes and themes from every speaker. At key moments, Brad presents these synthesised insights back to the audience, revealing the “golden thread or song line” of the day’s conversation in real time.
The “Future-Forward” Closing :
Instead of a simple summary, Brad delivers a powerful 10-minute capstone address, crafted in real time as he MCs the event. He synthesises the event’s key themes and projects them into the future—energising the audience with a clear, optimistic call to action.
“Radical Conversations” Facilitation:
Brad transforms passive listening into active engagement by facilitating short, structured breakout sessions based on his “Radical Thinking” framework, prompting attendees to apply keynote concepts directly to their own challenges.
