Amy McWhirter

Amy McWhirter is a charismatic speaker and international emcee who was born to connect a room. At just five years old, she volunteered to wrap a boa constrictor around her neck, and soon after, her first dance recital as a bumblebee ballerina lit her up from within. Years later, she placed second in the National Spelling Bee. Those early experiences taught her that the stage is where both magic and meaning happen.

Today, McWhirter serves as a keynote speaker, emcee, moderator, and on-camera host known for her warm energy, crisp clarity, and improv-ready presence. On stage and on screen, she catalyzes content into connection—drawing out the heart of each message, threading themes in real time, and transforming audiences into participants across live, virtual, and hybrid events.

She earned a Bachelor of Science in Biopsychology with honors from the University of Michigan, where she was pre-med by day and immersed in theater, dance, improv comedy, and communications by night. That blend of science and storytelling still shapes how she translates complex topics—especially across technology, healthcare, and finance—into messages people can feel and remember.

McWhirter has led multi-day programs at global events like CES and IFT, energized internal sales kickoffs, interviewed celebrities, and emceed awards galas across North America, Europe, Singapore, India, and the Middle East. Whether welcoming thousands to a general session or guiding a high-stakes panel, her aim is constant: move the room, make the message land, and leave a lasting impact.
