  • Develop and manage a comprehensive event project plan (checklist) for each event that includes expectations and leads meetings (kickoff, planning, and pre-event) to maximize participation and optimize results.
  • Track and manage deliverables to ensure all event deadlines are met across departments.
  • Collaborate with the content manager on the writing, design, and production of event content, including invitations, signage, presentations, and social media posts.
  • Manage exhibit vendors and approve the design, layout, cost estimates, and construction of exhibits and displays consistent with brand identity guidelines.
  • Manage company-hosted events, including Connect, Reconnect, speaking opportunities for T2 through leaders, and T2 Solution Showcases.
  • Support the planning and execution of company internal events as needed, including employee huddles and the annual sales summit.
  • Negotiate with vendors, event hosts, hotels, and service providers for the best arrangements within budget.
  • Build mutually beneficial relationships throughout T2 and with industry and market vertical associations.
  • Research and implement trends, technologies, and capabilities within the event planning and trade show industries.
  • Manage T2 speakers' bureau activity, secure speaking engagements for T2 staff, and coordinate presentation development with the content manager.
