  • Strong stakeholder management, negotiation, and communication skills.
  • Experience with contracts, budgets, and risk/compliance documentation.
  • A proactive, positive attitude and the ability to thrive in a high energy event environment.
  • Knowledge of exhibitor strategies, traffic flow, and event design is a bonus.

What we offer
