This role will be responsible for working with internal stakeholders and vendors to build out key programs for our proprietary hybrid conferences, as well as provide event programmatic support cross-functionally with teams across the organization.

  • Help to develop promotional plans and reporting on effectiveness to better inform planning
  • Find opportunities and take initiative to improve efficiency and effectiveness of processes, resource allocation, and any aspects of the proprietary programs.
