Reporting to Head, Technical Cell, I am solely responsible for seminars at ACG and manage and plan one or two day seminars from conception to close including coordination of logistics and onsite requirements.Working closely with Marketing, Sales and Technical Heads from each company, I draw out a calendar of seminars for the year and develop the annual and individual seminar budgets and monitor expenses to ensure financial goals are met.I thoroughly enjoy coordinating with colleagues across all nine group companies to prepare the program with topics and speakers from within the group as well as external/ partner veteran industry professionals as guest speakers. In keeping with the vendor management norms of the organization, I negotiate & select venues and vendors for preparing branding collateral (invites, display material, seminar kits, venue branding), catering, conference facilities, audio-visual services and other arrangements at the venue. I believe it is mutually beneficial if I continue to work with vendors and help them improve their services to the company.Besides preparing all the marketing communication with the help of the design studio, I also drive marketing the seminars through email marketing campaigns and territory managers across group companies.I effectively communicate to all stakeholders the milestones and timelines established for production of the seminars, and mange and liaise with all associates related to the event including staff, speakers, delegates, and suppliers. The adrenaline of managing the onsite activities of a seminar is something that has groomed me over the years towards effectively planning in advance and executing seminars. Show less
