Alternative spelling of MC (Master of Ceremonies) — the person who hosts and facilitates the live event programme.
Emcee and MC are used interchangeably in the event industry. 'Emcee' is more commonly used in entertainment and cultural contexts, while 'MC' is the preferred term in corporate events.
