* Manage speakers, support content delivery, and handle on-site logistics.
* Oversee budgets, ensuring cost control and value for money.
* Collaborate with our design team on branding, visuals, and marketing collateral.
* Build and maintain supplier relationships, ensuring timely and on-budget delivery.
