• Coordinate with internal teams and external suppliers to ensure these projects meet brand standards, run smoothly, and enhance the overall event experience.
• Develop timelines, production schedules, and briefing documents for project elements as required.
• Coordinate tasks and maintain relationships with suppliers and contractors as associated sponsorships and special features (signage, branding, furniture, AV, etc.)
Travel & Onsite Responsibilities
