Please allow me to introduce myself, my name is Gabriella Moe, and as an Event Manager I come from a hospitality/customer service background. To be specific, the restaurant and bar industry. I have been serving it up with a smile for over 10 years. Throughout my employment at Plank Road Tap Room, I was promoted to Private Event Coordinator for the Tap Room when the company decided to cater to private events for the first time. My initial duties as the groundwork EC at the Tap Room was to develop contracts, marketing, and pricing packages for all events. Once all process and procedures were in place, I saw events through from start to finish; from the initial email inquiries, to contracts and payment, and every minor detail inbetween.I then used my experience as an EC in Hospitality, and took on a position as the event manager for Dr. Alok Trivedi, a Chicago-Local Motivational Speaker & Business Advisor. As the Event Manager, it was my responsibility to organize, plan, and execute all public speaking events. I took on the responsibility of marketing and attended local marketing events to increase event awarness and ticket sales. My responsibilitisles per event was to book all hotel rooms, lecture rooms, and food and beverage for the event. In office, I designed and developed contracts, and all other paper handouts for the live events. Out of office, I worked with hotel EC's to create a lecture-room layout, schedule, and food accommodations for all attendees. As a team, we had planned all events and travel for the 2020 year which was unfortunately disrupted through the pandemic; but we did not let that stop us and we switched our platform over to online events and one-on-one business consulting.
