Mark Cooper | CEO at IACC Meeting Venues

"Sourced with finding a facilitator for one particular session at one of our annual pharma conferences, we came across Samme Allen! She immediately worked to understand the conference, the audience and helped develop and present what has been rated as one of the best interactive sessions in recent years, and just what we hoped for. I could recommend Samme more, so much so that we are looking to bring her back next year!"

Head of Events at Kingston Smith Association Management

"I can't say enough good things about Samme. Leading up to the conference Samme was so easy to work with and onsite she exceeded all expectations ten-fold. It I've been producing conferences for over 20 years and she is hands down the best conference facilitator I've seen. I will search for every opportunity I can to hire Samme at my meetings and will look forward to working with her for years to come."

Senior Event Director at ExL Events (aka ExL Pharma)

"We approached Samme to host a session at the Conference and Hospitality Show in 2019: In conversation with Simon Rimmer. TV Chef and Presenter, Simon was our key note speaker and preferred a conversational style over presenting, so Samme was our 'go to' woman as they session was the climax of the show. The results were exactly what we hoped for. She definitely brought out the best in Simon, managed audience interaction beautifully and you could hear the laughs and applause all around the exhibition hall. I would highly recommend Samme for any work that involves her being on stage and bringing out the best in your speakers, whether it be an interview or as an MC."

Emma Cartmell, Director | Conference & Hospitality Show

"The FRESH conference 2018 had Samme as an MC in the LONDON hub. MC and moderator work in a multi-hub conference is an all new environment and Samme did great, despite being given limited preparation time. Samme is very spontaneous and ad-rem, always on the ball and a constant ray of light. She made London shine and brought a smile to the entire conference. FRESH had a lot of healthcare meeting planners and they voted for the MC qualities at FRESH as the best driver for interaction, Making Samme winner of the Audience Interaction Award."
