My role at GIC consisted of many parts, working on conferences from concept to execution. Initially, I was in charge of testing new conference topics I had come up with alongside my team before deciding whether they would be commercially successful or not. After this initial period I would put together the events I thought would be a commercial success, bringing together a detailed agenda and then inviting extremely senior level speakers to speak on the various topics I created. The conference topics ranged from Digital Marketing in Pharma to next-level Internal Communications strategies. The role consists a lot of picking up the phone over 100 times a day and directly speaking to people on the phone which is something I love and thrive upon. Companies I got to speak at my events ranged from BMI, GSK, Pfizer, Boots and much more

My most successful conference focused on the transportation of crude oil by rail and was one of the biggest in the companies history. The event took place in Calgary and reached over £400k with the event being a complete sellout in terms of delegates as well as sponsorship.
