Familiarize yourself with the business goals behind each event to help you to approach each event in such a way to maximize company ROI.
Understand our event technology options, and deploy as necessary to support conferences and events.
Manage trade show and event contracts, including processing invoices and staying on top of payments and budgets across assigned events.
Work with our approved promotional vendors to ensure that our giveaways and promotional items for conferences and events are enticing to clients and potential customers. Manage stock to minimize waste and maximize choices available.

Work closely with third‑party suppliers to support the logistics and smooth running of shows and events.
Manage and coordinate the logistics of the exhibit property including maintenance of the trade show exhibit, demonstration equipment and all accessories.
For networking events and TransPerfect‑sponsored trade show parties, expect to source and book the venue, plan the event (both creative and promotional elements), and depending on the size of the event, attend on‑site to help orchestrate.
