Jon Snow’s award winning career as a journalist and presenter has made him a popular choice, both at home and abroad, as a conference facilitator, after dinner speaker, (sharing his experiences from the many encounters with political giants during his long and illustrious career), quiz host and of course awards host. Presenter of Britain’s award-winning Channel 4 News, Jon joined ITN in 1976 and has been reporting news, live from studios, battlegrounds and celebratory events around the world, directly into our living rooms, ever since. His wealth of experience and good humour make him an invaluable addition to any event.
