• Work closely with Marketing and Design colleagues to manage the development of creative deliverables to ensure alignment to brand guidelines (e.g. backdrops, printed collaterals, digital banners).
• Manage event platforms and engagement tools to optimise attendee experience and maximise event content.
• Review completed events to identify key learnings and suggest/implement recommendations for future editions.
