• Partner with brand, communications, and marketing teams to shape event messaging, objectives, and promotional materials that reflect business priorities.
• Prepare and distribute event briefings, attendee communications, operational documents, and stakeholder updates to keep all parties aligned.
• Measure event outcomes through lead reporting, performance analysis, and recap documentation to assess impact and guide future investment decisions.
• Support social media promotion, thought leadership initiatives, and speaking opportunities that expand visibility before, during, and after events.
• Build productive relationships with vendors, trade associations, partners, and internal teams to strengthen execution and improve event results.
• Coordinate planning sessions and training activities that prepare internal stakeholders for successful participation and on-site delivery.
• Monitor industry trends and recommend new event ideas or enhancements that elevate brand recognition while remaining mindful of budget and return on investment.

Qualifications:

• Experience managing corporate, community, or experiential events from planning through post-event evaluation.

• Ability to manage budgets, maintain forecasts, and complete financial reconciliation accurately and on time.
• Proficiency in tracking event data, leads, and performance metrics to support reporting and decision-making.
• Effective communication skills with the ability to collaborate across marketing, sales, operations, and external partners.
• Demonstrated ability to handle several projects at once while maintaining close attention to deadlines and detail.
