Corporate Events Manager

As a corporate events manager, you lead the planning and execution of the conferences, conventions, and special events that companies use to build relationships and grow their business. You oversee the whole process, from the first idea to the final wrap up, making sure each event meets its goals and stays on budget. Day to day you manage vendors, negotiate contracts, plan timelines, coordinate teams, oversee the attendee experience, and solve problems as they arise. You often lead a team of coordinators and assistants, and you balance big picture strategy with the countless small details that make an event succeed.
