Daniel Murray is one of Australia’s most engaging and adaptable MCs, bringing empathy, energy and insight to conferences, award nights and corporate events across Australia, New Zealand, Asia and the USA.
Known as the Australian Simon Sinek, Daniel combines his background in strategy, behavioural economics and leadership with his natural warmth and humour to ensure your event runs seamlessly on time while also keeping audiences connected and engaged.
Daniel thoroughly researches each client, tailors his material to the event’s theme and crafts his own script notes to ensure a perfect fit for your audience and event. At the same time, he is renowned for his ability to think on his feet, adapt in the moment and keep events running smoothly no matter what surprises occur (we all know they do sometimes!).
He has built a reputation for creating connection in the room by weaving empathy and interaction into proceedings so audiences feel part of the experience, not just observers. From lively openings and smooth speaker introductions to insightful wrap-ups, Daniel transforms your agenda into a shared journey where people laugh, learn and feel inspired.
While not a stand-up comedian, he uses intelligent humour, curiosity and storytelling throughout the sessions to keep a conference flowing to time, deliver important messages with clarity and bring the right energy to every moment on stage. Having MC’d major conferences, facilitated leadership panels and delivered countless keynotes and workshops, Daniel brings both professionalism and authenticity. He is equally comfortable live on stage or in virtual and hybrid formats, ensuring audiences feel connected wherever they are.
Clients describe Daniel as calm, engaging and professional. He is the MC who partners with you to create events that people remember long after the closing session. His ability to balance structure with flexibility means organisers can relax, knowing their event is in safe hands.
