Are you looking for an Emcee for your tech event in Singapore?
Technology events have a specific kind of audience. They are knowledgeable, detail-oriented, and quick to notice when an emcee is out of their depth. An emcee who cannot follow a discussion on zero trust architecture, high performance computing, or AI-driven digital transformation will struggle to bridge sessions, introduce speakers credibly, or keep a tech audience engaged.
Emcee Lester Leo is one of Singapore’s most experienced tech event emcees. He has hosted technology events for some of the world’s largest and most respected tech companies, including Cisco, Dell, HP, Oracle, VMware, Zscaler, Keysight, Konica Minolta, Tableau, F5, Imperva, GovTech, the Cyber Security Agency of Singapore, the National Supercomputing Centre Singapore, and many more.
What sets Lester apart from most emcees in this space is genuine tech fluency. He founded three technology startups in Singapore (You can read more here about his first and second startup), was part of the Antler founder programme exploring Web 3.0 businesses, and holds a Business Management degree from Singapore Management University.
He has hosted tech events spanning cybersecurity, cloud computing, semiconductors, artificial intelligence, blockchain, supercomputing, data science, and more. He does not just read tech content from a script. He understands it.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What does a tech emcee do at a technology event in Singapore?
A tech emcee manages the programme flow, introduces speakers and sessions, bridges content between presentations, engages the audience, and keeps the energy and focus of the event on track. At technology events specifically, they also need to be able to speak credibly about technical topics, frame complex content accessibly, and moderate panels involving subject matter experts. Lester Leo does all of this and brings genuine technology industry knowledge to every tech event he hosts.
Why does a technology event need a specialist tech emcee?
Tech audiences are discerning. They notice quickly when an emcee does not understand what they are talking about. A generalist emcee who reads tech content from a script without comprehension loses the room fast. A specialist tech emcee like Lester who genuinely understands the content earns credibility with the audience and makes the event significantly more engaging and professional.
Which technology companies has Lester Leo hosted events for in Singapore?

Can Lester moderate panels at a technology conference in Singapore?
Yes. Lester regularly moderates expert-level panels at technology conferences in Singapore. He is experienced in facilitating discussions involving CTOs, CISOs, product leaders, and technical specialists, and can ask intelligent questions that move the conversation forward rather than simply reading from a list.

Yes. Lester has hosted virtual and hybrid tech events including Cisco APJC virtual awards, Jabra APAC virtual kick-offs, and various online conferences and roadshows. He manages the additional technical and logistical elements of virtual hosting while maintaining the same standard of engagement as physical events.
How far in advance should I book a tech emcee in Singapore?
It is recommended to book at least two to three months in advance. Technology conferences often have fixed dates tied to product release cycles, regional event calendars, or partner programmes, so it is important to confirm your emcee early. For large-scale or multi-day tech conferences, booking four to six months ahead is advisable.
