EVENT HOST
You've put a lot of time and energy into planning your event. You want your guests to enjoy themselves and get the most out of it; and, egads, you might even want to enjoy it yourself. That'll be difficult if you emcee the darn thing too! Luckily you don't have to. A professional emcee will make your event flow with ease, fun and humor. That event host is, Leighann Lord.
Leighann was the first comedian in its 21-year history to host American Banker's Most Powerful Woman in Banking Gala. Leighann has also hosted:
- The Northeast Conference on Science and Skepticism (NECSS)
- CSI Conference
- The Consumer Attorneys Association of Los Angeles (CAALA) Gala (virtual)
- The National Society of Newspaper Columnists Conference (virtual)
- BI Worldwide Meeting

SKEPTICAL INQUIRER PRESENTS
"Leighann, you are a master at bringing out the best in people. It is an amazing talent you have! I think you may be the best host ever. What a delight listening to you engage the guest and audience!" - Barry Karr, CFI Executive Director
72ND ANNUAL CAALA GALA - Virtual
"Leighann Lord was the perfect host for our client's [Consumer Attorneys Association of Los Angeles (CAALA)] virtual event. She added just the right amount of lightness and levity while keeping the focus on the business at hand. She is a real pro and a lovely human being. Easy to work with and good onscreen energy, Leighann is a great virtual host and I'm sure an even better live and in person." - Plan A
National Society of Newspaper Columnists - Virtual
If the 1999 Louisville conference is remembered for the visit to the Muhammad Ali Museum and the 2005 Texas conference is remembered for the mechanical bull, then the 2021 conference must be remembered as the Leighann Lord conference. Her emcee role was absolutely pitch perfect. Her humor, her quick-thinking reactions, her sensitivity to what was happening around her, why it's the best MC work I've ever seen. Then add to that the passing of her mother only a few days before ("My mother would have wanted me to do this") and what we witnessed was professionalism and excellence of the highest caliber. Happy National Columnists Day Leighann. You. Are. Amazing. - Dave Lieber
