Benoit Blanchard

After years of experiencing the thrill of various sports fields, always seeking the emotions they evoke, I had the opportunity to take the microphone to comment on an athletics competition. This allowed me to share my way of experiencing events with the public. Since then, I've had the chance to accumulate diverse experiences, both in terms of situations (from the classic role of 'speaker' to moderating debates, to live commentary for television, etc.) and disciplines covered, sometimes even stepping outside the realm of sports.

Whatever the situation, my guiding principle remains the same: I strive to provide maximum clarity to the spectacle unfolding before the audience's eyes, while allowing the passion that drives me to shine through when circumstances call for it and permit!

I approach the events I work on by gathering as much information as possible about the organization, as well as the men and women who will 'make' the event happen, in order to give meaning to reactions or situations that would remain trivial without a certain key to interpretation.

I was a modest-level athlete, so I have even more respect for the talent and hard work accomplished in training. I therefore strive to highlight the athletes without taking any of the spotlight away from them, just as I know how to value the enthusiasts who make events possible, whether they are organizers, volunteers, or partners.

To conclude this introduction, I come from sports, and this field will naturally hold a special place in my heart, but I can leverage my hosting skills in many other contexts!
