PORTFOLIO
Hi, I’m Caseya community builder
and events production manager for loveable
tech brands
It’s all about the setup
WHEN PRODUCING AN EVENT I FOCUS ON CONTEXT, BRAND, INTENT, METRICS & ALWAYS A LITTLE SOMETHING EXTRA...
Take a look at the range of events I’ve brought to life in the last year!
Before we dive in… THE ROLES I PLAY
As EVENT MANAGER I work closely with the EVENT LEAD to plan and produce an event
As EVENT LEAD I spearhead event planning and production with a little team support
GOING BIG“It’s ~*miraculous*~ that we pull this off every 30 days…”
At the world’s largest meetup group, I helped produce a monthly meetup event that featured 10 tech companies presenting live demos for a sold out audience at NYU’s Skirball Theater. Over a year’s time, that’s 12,000 attendees and over 140 presenters.
