- Act as the point of contact for smaller meetings and events while supporting the team in larger event setups.
- Collaborate with clients, vendors, and team members to coordinate guest services, including transportation, signage, and special needs accommodations.
- Build a welcoming environment for attendees, event hosts, and vendors on event days, and assist with room reconfiguration and space management for both indoor and outdoor setups.
