What does MC Andrew Klein have in store for us this year?

 

You’ve probably never heard of Andrew Klein, unless you saw him profiled on “Australia’s Most Wanted” or that episode of “Today Tonight” targeting ‘Sydney’s Most Annoying Neighbours’ (Andrew swears it was all a big misunderstanding !!!).

When not annoying his neighbours, Andrew is a professional MC and co-Director of corporate entertainment, training and team-building company impact enterTrainers. A former corporate lawyer, Andrew brings his casual yet corporate style to proceedings, adding an extra element with his humour, creativity and interactive energiser activities.

He has become well-known on the conference circuit for his ability to involve the audience in proceedings, his revealing and gently satirical speaker introductions, his witty improvisational skills and ability to adapt to vastly different audiences.
