In an industry built on connection, communication, and creating impact, confidence is everything. That was the clear message from our recent episode of The Conference Collective Podcast, where host Libbie Ray sat down with the brilliant Dr. Louise Marler - opera singer, business communication expert, and pioneer of “vocal intelligence.”
Recorded live at the 2024 Professional Conference Organisers Association (PCOA) Conference in our state-of-the-art mobile podcast studio, this episode was more than just a conversation - it was a masterclass in unlocking human potential through the voice, body, and mind.
Too often, performance is seen as something reserved for stages and spotlights. But as Dr. Marler explains, every conversation, meeting, and moment of connection is a performance. Whether you're presenting at a conference, leading a team meeting, or hosting an event, how you communicate matters.
"Performance isn't about faking it,” Dr. Marler says. “It's about bringing your best self - consistently and confidently - through your body, your voice, and your presence.”
One of the most striking takeaways from the episode is Dr. Marler’s belief that confidence doesn't start with mindset - it starts with skills. From posture and breathwork to eye contact and gesture, she breaks down the fundamentals of body language and vocal delivery that can elevate how we show up.
For event professionals, presenters, and attendees alike, these insights are transformative. And at Connected Event Group, we see it firsthand. The right AV setup not only enhances what’s being said - it amplifies how it's felt. Lighting, audio clarity, video framing, and staging are all tools to support a confident delivery.
Dr. Marler also touched on something every conference organiser knows: managing energy is key to audience engagement.
Starting and ending on a high, creating intentional low points, and curating flow throughout the day aren’t just nice-to-haves - they’re vital for impactful experiences. At Connected Event Group, we design AV production to support this flow, from dynamic lighting transitions and walk-on music to real-time camera switching and screen content that keeps audiences visually engaged.
Whether it’s a high-energy keynote or an intimate breakout session, our team ensures your message lands with clarity and impact - on stage and on screen.
In a world of constant communication and content creation, the stakes are higher than ever. Dr. Marler’s approach is a timely reminder that being seen and heard is not enough - you need to connect.
That’s why more and more clients are investing in professional AV and event production. From corporate conferences and panel discussions to hybrid events and podcasts, we provide everything from LED walls and digital lecterns to virtual green rooms and livestreaming support.
We don’t just deliver technical solutions - we help bring confidence, clarity, and creativity to every event.
