Having Amanda help lead the team was instrumental in our success. Amanda’s attention to detail was unparalleled, ensuring every aspect of the event ran smoothly. From coordinating nearly 125 speakers to flawlessly co-producing the run of show to handling all onsite staffing needs, Amanda handled it all with grace and a smile.
