  • Participates in planning calls and meetings and maintains clear records of decisions, assignments, and outstanding items
  • Prepares and organizes printed materials, including signage, registration materials, credentials, seating materials, and other event supplies
  • Supports the day-of production of events, including setup, registration, guest services, program management, speaker/VIP support, and breakdown
  • Assists with post-event reconciliation, documentation, and after-action reporting
  • Performs other duties as assigned in support of the Special Events team


Qualifications

  • Must possess a valid New York State driver’s license and be able and willing to operate state vehicles as required in support of events and related activities.
