I am an experienced Event Manager and have successfully planned, managed and executed over 20 major international conferences and exhibitions for up to 2,500 attendees. My current role has led me to execute events across Australia, Europe, the Middle East and the United States of America, often on tight timelines. I have proven project and time management skills working across multiple time-zones and successfully implementing processes and procedures to ensure all project deadlines are being met across an international team in a realistic and timely fashion. I am an efficient and high-level communicator and enjoy building positive relationships with sponsors, stakeholders and staff, whether they be sitting next to me or on the other side of the world. A decision maker and logical thinker, I thrive in an onsite problem-solving situation when it presents itself. While never compromising on quality, I possess excellent venue and supplier negotiation skills that have led to significant discounts and generally a 30% reduction in costs. I take great pleasure in preparing and tracking event budgets so I have the opportunity to deliver an event on time and in budget for my client.I take great pride in being the ‘face’ of the events that I manage and the work that is produced. I always ensure that all aspects of my events are consistent with the brand message, displays great attention to detail, and always aligns with its objectives.I believe that anything is possible with events, and I approach each new project with the attitude and desire to make the next event bigger and better than the last.
