VP of Sales
My career has centered around events: from creating a virtual summit in 2014, to managing a CEO’s event appearances, to selling onsite live-streaming services and digital platforms, to selling registration and event technology solutions. I have deep connections within the industry, and strong knowledge about event marketing and what event marketers need. I am committed to helping our industry grow, and surrounding myself with others who want to lead the innovation curve. In my spare time, I can be found reading, performing Improv, planning parties, or playing with my boxer puppy, Larrie.
I (18 years in events) am seeing more and more the disconnect between an event marketer’s vision and the way your staff executes this vision on-site.
You (an event pro) want to empower your on-site team to crush it but OMG another thing on your plate might throw you over the edge.
You know your event staff experience matters just as much as the attendee experience. So tune in for a chat with Darcy from BW Events about how you can make sure your on-site staff are representing the way they should - whether at a booth, a dinner, or a karaoke room.
