About DJ Reese: From Z100 Radio to the Corporate Stage
Your Corporate Event Emcee and DJ Partner
DJ Reese has been on the mic since 2007. He spent more than ten years in radio, starting as an intern and moving through promotions, board operator and voice-over work before becoming a mixshow DJ and on-air personality at stations including Z100 New York, SiriusXM and 98.7 Kiss FM.
That radio background is what he brings to a conference stage. He knows how to open a program, hand off to a speaker, keep a break from drifting and bring a room back on time, with no dead air. His approach is simple: music shapes emotion, and emotion drives engagement.
Today he emcees and DJs conferences, conventions, awards programs, sales kickoffs and galas, from New York, New Jersey, Philadelphia and Washington DC to events nationwide.
Built for High Stakes Rooms
Corporate events require precision, professionalism, and the ability to adapt in real time. From executive audiences to large conference crowds, every moment reflects on your organization. Our role is to maintain the right atmosphere, support your agenda, and ensure transitions feel smooth and intentional.
DJ Reese is a member of Meeting Professionals International, Greater New York Chapter and an affiliate member of the MPI New Jersey Chapter. That matters less as a badge than as a habit: it keeps us in the same rooms as the planners who run these programs, learning how they are being measured, before we are ever standing behind a booth at one of their events.

We work seamlessly alongside your venue, AV, and production teams, following run of show schedules and coordinating timing for speakers, presentations, networking sessions, and entertainment segments. Whether your event is a one day program or a multi day conference, our goal is to make your job easier, not more complicated.

What Makes DJ Reese Stand Out as a Corporate Event DJ
Corporate event planners hiring for a conference, convention, gala, or sales kickoff aren’t just looking for someone who can play music. They’re looking for a corporate emcee who can run the room: someone who commands a stage, reads an audience of executives and employees in real time, and represents the brand with polish from the first mic check to the final thank you.
That’s the standard we hold ourselves to on every conference, convention, and corporate event we emcee and DJ. A few things planners consistently point to when they explain why they book us back:
- Command of the run of show. Award presentations, executive introductions, and session transitions land on time and on tone, whether it’s a 200 person convention general session or an intimate executive dinner.
- Confident, brand safe mic work. Introducing a CEO, calling a raffle winner, or steering a room back from a delay all require the same calm, professional delivery: no rambling, no dead air, no off brand jokes.
- Real time audience reads. We adjust pacing, energy, and music on the fly based on how the room is actually responding, not a fixed script.
- Composure under pressure. Late speakers, AV hiccups, and schedule changes get handled quietly and professionally, without the audience ever noticing something went wrong.
- Two decades of corporate specific experience. Twenty plus years of conferences, conventions, galas, and sales kickoffs means we already understand corporate event etiquette, executive expectations, and how to represent a brand on stage.
That’s the practical difference between the emcee side of the role and the DJ side: emcee work is what keeps a conference or convention on schedule and on brand, while DJ work is what keeps the energy right in between.
