Build and manage registration platforms (Swoogo, RainFocus, Cvent) from initial architecture through post-event analytics
Own the attendee data lifecycle: database management, list segmentation, data hygiene, and year-over-year analytics that actually mean something
Drive client communications through the tech stack (invitations, confirmations, surveys) in partnership with account teams
Integrate event platforms with CRM/marketing systems (Salesforce, Marketo, HubSpot) – making data flow seamlessly
Partner with AV/production vendors to align registration, apps, streaming, and audience engagement tools with technical production plans
Negotiate contracts and scope SOWs with technology vendors – you'll manage both relationships and budgets
Create SOPs and runbooks that actually get used – documentation that helps our team scale without sacrificing quality
Lead onsite execution: configure check-in flows, oversee registration operations, troubleshoot in real-time when things inevitably get interesting
Generate post-event dashboards and insights that make clients look brilliant to their leadership
Stay ahead of emerging tech (AI tools, engagement platforms, whatever's next) and bring innovations that enhance ROI
Potentially manage other event technology specialists as we grow
