Jon Briggs

Professional broadcaster for BBC - Interviewer and moderator

Jon Briggs has a very large experience in working as a moderator and discussion leader for events all over the world.

Jon Briggs has spent 25 years as a professional broadcaster for the BBC and ITN, mostly in news and current affairs. He knows how to manage interviews and issues; ensuring debate and informed opinion are explained clearly. In the last 15 years he has successfully managed over 250 events worldwide in Europe, North America and the Far East, many of them for the Top 100 Companies.

His role as a moderator is unusual in that Jon Briggs will take time out to learn about the companies he works with, interviewing staff and managers beforehand, writing his own script and adding valuable business ideas to the creation of the event from icebreakers to breakout sessions. As well as providing a well judged link or theme for a series of speakers to give an audience a sense of continuity for an event.

His record with conferences is very successful, and he is usually returned as the highest rated speaker by audiences for any event he works on. As such he gets a large amount of return business - "That’s the best sort of work" says Jon Briggs "as you get the added benefit of learning how a company has progressed since the initial event."
