ARIANNE ALCORTA

In a nutshell, a moderator is the interviewer during a live panel discussion — whether at a conference or corporate event. It’s the one who “mediates” and leads the conversation by:

​

           Keeping a balance

           Instigating the controversial questions the audience wants to hear

           Making sure everyone gets their fair share of talking time (interrupting speakers when necessary)

           Ensuring that the conversation not only stays topical, but also dynamic and worthwhile for the audience

 

This is why television journalists tend to be the best event moderators. After all, their role is pretty much the same. Arianne is known for keeping conversations concise and to the point, whether it is at a virtual or in-person event. She will leave the audience wanting more, and looking forward to coming back.
