Part-Time Event Planner | Surge Support for Government Events

The Conference & Event Services team at Strategic Analysis, Inc. is building a bench of talented, experienced event planners to support large-scale government events across the country. We're looking for professionals who thrive in fast-paced environments and are open to part-time, project-based work as needs arise. This is an ideal opportunity for experienced planners seeking flexible, high-impact projects.

Assignments will vary based on the size and complexity of each event. Many projects involve outdoor, multi-day events held nationwide, with approximately two weeks of on-site work covering setup, live event execution, and teardown. These are large public events - while not festivals, they share similar infrastructure and scale. This role is designed for professionals who thrive in a fast-paced event environment.

Expect long days, dynamic conditions and hands-on work - from managing on-site logistics to physical tasks like lifting and moving materials when needed.
