As an Event Producer and Production Manager for TalkingTree Creative, I led client interactions, events, video shoots, talent and vendor communication, and production schedules. Due to the nature of COVID-19, our clients have been virtual events including international conferences, corporate and nonprofit galas, and corporate updates. As the lead, I had to be adaptive to the changing nature of the pandemic while meeting client expectations and deadlines. Please view a few of the events below that I managed.
Texas Society of Architects National Conference & Showcase
The Texas Society of Architects hosts an annual Conference and showcase that features in-person building tours, educational sessions, a tradeshow, keynote presentations, and various networking activities. My role was to manage attendee registration and technical assistance, talent management, and workshop logistics.
New Israel Fund Gala
We even included a few ways for the audience to interact during the live broadcast, like coordinating a virtual toast.
The New Israel Fund (NIF) is an international non-profit working to make Israel a more progressive society and promote diversity, justice, and inclusion in Israel. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, NIF US opted for a virtual experience for their 2020 fundraising gala. The live event played out as a series of presentations and discussions broken up by pre-produced video content and musical entertainment by international artists that NIF enlisted. The different pieces of the broadcast were thoughtfully coordinated and edited together to create an engaging, emotionally powerful virtual experience. I oversaw the teleprompter and script management and managed guest technical assistance.
Hughes Virtual Sales Marketing Conference
The annual Hughes Sales Marketing Conference is an opportunity for their company leaders to provide business updates and presentations to their international teams. My team helped developed a virtual program for their 2021 Sales Marketing Conference. We created a virtual 3-D set that engaged with audiences and also brought something fresh to the table for those with virtual meeting fatigue. My main role was to facilitate the teleprompter and script management as well as assist in the production set up. I had the opportunity to work with various executive leaders on their scripts and collaborate with them on their presentations through their use of the teleprompter.
