Onsite Execution

• Manage onsite help desks, meeting zones, and check-in logistics.
• Act as the primary escalation point for any scheduling conflicts or technical issues during the event.

Performance & Analytics

• Conduct post-event evaluations to identify areas for improvement and present findings to leadership.

Qualifications:

• Experience:
  
  3-5 years in event operations, customer success, or attendee management. Experience with "Hosted Buyer" or "1:1 Matchmaking" programs is a significant plus.

• Communication:
  Exceptional verbal and written communication skills with the ability to interact professionally with C-suite executives. Problem-Solving: A "can-do" attitude with the ability to stay calm and resourceful in fast-paced, live-event environments.
