BA (Hons), FPSA, PSAE
SXE, UKAs the MC/compere at your next conference or event, I'll bring energy, humour, charm - and a safe pair of hands - to your stage. I host conference main stages, trade shows, live demo areas, awards etc
Steve Bustin is the 'go to' event emcee/MC/compere/host/facilitator/presenter - pick your term, it's all (roughly) the same thing!
Steve hosts events from conferences, product launches and trade shows to award ceremonies, fundraisers and cabaret nights. Mixing a background as a BBC News journalist, bringing gravitas and professionalism, with time spent as a stand-up comic and improv performer, he is uniquely equipped to host events when you need that elusive mix of experience, charm and engagement. Often described by those who book him as a 'safe pair of hands', you can relax and concentrate on the myriad of other things event organisers need to juggle during a conference or event.
Steve has hosted events at venues including major conference halls and West End theatres right through to nightclubs, open-air buses and on one memorable occasion, in a paddling pool in the middle of a woodland. Ask him to tell you that story sometime...
As well as being in demand as an emcee, Steve is also regularly booked as a keynote and breakout speaker (sometimes combining the two roles), speaking on a range of communication topics and also on online security, based on his experience of finding himself to be the 'face' of an online dating fraud. A business communication expert, Steve will help your delegates make every communication - from a speech to a social media post - engaging and effective. Through targeted, engaging and practical keynotes and breakout sessions, Steve inspires your delegates to grasp the opportunities offered by engaging communication by giving them use-in-your-business-tomorrow communication tools and tips.
Steve was named 'National Speaker of the Year' in 2015 by The Professional Speaking Association UK & Ireland and awarded their highest award, The Professional Speaking Award of Excellence, in 2021 - one of only 20 people to hold this designation. He's the author of two books, The Authority Guide to Presenting and Public Speaking (print & audio book) and The Authority Guide to PR for Small Business.
Away from business, Steve also speaks to gardening groups on a range of horticultural and garden history topics. He lives in Brighton with his husband and dog.
