In Short
Rima Iskandarani is a Dubai-based bilingual events MC specializing in corporate conferences, award ceremonies, and leadership summits across the UAE and GCC. With 10+ years of stage and broadcast experience, she hosts in English and Arabic with preparation and protocol awareness that corporate rooms demand.
I host corporate conferences, leadership summits, and award nights across Dubai and the GCC, holding the room from first welcome to close. Bilingual English and Arabic, on-schedule delivery, and calm recovery when the run sheet shifts.

What I Handle
- Prepared before day one I study the run sheet, speaker bios, and protocol requirements, and confirm every pronunciation before I arrive.
- Clean transitions I manage handoffs between segments so the audience never feels the gap.
- Calm when plans change I recover the timeline discreetly when speakers run long or decks fail.
- Resets the room I spot energy drops and bring attention back to the stage without forcing it.
- Bilingual on cue I switch between English and Arabic based on audience composition and protocol.
Why Rima for corporate & leadership
- Boardroom authority , not nightlife energy. Leadership audiences read a room instantly and know when a host is performing instead of leading.
- Brand representation on stage. The tone I set becomes how your staff, sponsors, and clients remember your organization.
- Stakeholder alignment . A strong host makes leadership look sharper, sponsors feel valued, and staff feel proud.
Languages and Protocol

Investment
A corporate MC quote depends on the event type, duration, preparation time, language needs, and protocol level. For corporate rooms, I price around the run sheet, bilingual scope, and stakeholder expectations rather than a generic rate card.
