Conference Executive/Manager:
Jobs in conferences/events require several skills to assist with the successful planning and execution of conferences/events. It's important for people working in conference/event planning, execution, and overall management to have good multitasking, communication, interpersonal, problem-solving, and organizational skills and ensure that events run smoothly. They also serve as the primary contact between an organization and its clients.
A conference/event executive is responsible for working with clients to determine conference/event goals and objectives, secure venues and vendors, create timelines, coordinate logistics, manage staff and volunteers, and assist with the planning and executing marketing campaigns (developing marketing materials, such as website content, brochures, and email newsletters).
