• In-Person Client Visits: Organize meeting schedules, travel, and logistics for on-site client visits.

• Travel Requirement: Willingness to travel regularly for major trade shows and client events.

Pre- & Post-Event Marketing Support

• Budget Adherence: Work within set budgets and deadlines, adjusting as needed while keeping stakeholders informed.
• Continuous Improvement: Suggest and implement ways to streamline planning, differentiate our presence, and elevate the Updater brand experience.
