About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Serve as the primary liaison for a portfolio of corporate conference clients.
Lead kickoff, define goals, scope, and success metrics, and keep everyone aligned from contract to debrief.
Build and manage detailed project plans, timelines, and run‑of‑show for multi‑day, multi‑track conferences.
Coordinate with client teams, internal AV / streaming teams, venues, and vendors to lock in room sets, gear, labor, and schedules.
Translate program goals into AV/streaming and platform requirements (sessions, tracks, registration flows, event app, CEU rules, etc.).
Lead on‑site execution for select conferences (travel required), including rehearsals, show calling / stage management support, and crisis handling.
Oversee live streaming operations (start/stop, basic troubleshooting, comms between venue and remote support teams).
Ensure reg/badge, event app, and CEU tracking all work together cleanly during the show.
Coordinate sponsor deliverables (sessions, booths, signage, recordings) and ensure they’re integrated into the event plan.
Identify and recommend upsell opportunities that genuinely improve the attendee and client experience (additional rooms, streaming, content capture, etc.).
Run post‑event debriefs, reconcile budgets, and capture wins / lessons for the next year’s event.
Help refine internal playbooks and templates so every show gets easier and better.

- Managing AV / production partners or in‑house tech teams
