Yann Fernandez - Host, Master of ceremonies
Journalist, host, and speaker trainer for over 30 years.
Former host-journalist at Télé Toulouse, Radio-France, and Sud Radio, I have been hosting conventions, congresses, seminars, and corporate round tables since 1995. Over 1,600 events hosted to date, including 600 conventions and 300 TV sets, for clients such as Air France, SNCF, EDF, Safran, Orange, CNES, and Ariane Group. I have interviewed over 7,500 executives live. Trilingual (French, English, Spanish), based in Toulouse, I travel throughout France, including at the last minute when a speaker cancels.
My positioning is specific. I am neither a television star nor a generalist host. A trained journalist, I editorially prepare each event, individually brief each speaker, and manage the live broadcast with the rigor of a TV set. This profile suits clients who want their company's message to be remembered, not for the host to be recognized.
In addition to hosting, I also coach executives in public speaking before their public appearances, and I produce mobile TV sets for internal corporate events. Since 2024, I have been integrating artificial intelligence into the editorial preparation of my assignments. Never live: the set is managed by a journalist, not by a script. I respond within 24 hours and adapt to the format imposed by the organizer, both in person and on TV sets.
