• Communicate event and sponsorship programs proactively to sales stakeholders, enabling them to leverage programs effectively with prospects and customers.
• Coordinate set-up and flow of assets and information required by content marketing, demand generation, and solutions marketing to fully activate event programs.

• Compile and deliver post-event performance reports with actionable insights and recommendations for the Campaign Planning Manager and broader stakeholders.
• Monitor lead flow from events into BDR and sales pipelines, ensuring timely and appropriate follow-up.
