As an Associate on the Speaker Relations team, I work to develop long lasting, healthy working relationships with Speakers and their offices. I am the point of contact as I am in tune with speaker’s preferences and what steps need to be taken in order for a speaker to be prepared for a speaking engagement. From the time an event is officially a "go", I am responsible for driving the project timeline from event inception to event day: I take control to ensure speakers are taken care of and prepared from the time they leave home to the moment they return and that the event(s) run smoothly and successfully from all perspectives - both the speakers’ and the event hosts’. In addition, I focus on making sure that speakers are prepared and fully briefed on all aspects of events, including but not limited to the nature of the event, speech content, general logistics, event agenda, background research material, audience profile, and any other useful information that speakers find necessary.-Coordinate travel arrangements including flights, hotels, and ground transportation for speakers.-Fully brief speakers on event aspects, to guarantee they have an exceptional on-site experience.-Guide communication between speakers and hosts, ensuring hosts fulfill contracts, speakers needs.-Partner with production teams for event updates, specific requests, and promotional approvals.-Remain in tune with 50+, high profile speakers to develop and maintain lasting relationships.
