Meet Plan Go

Lisa's creativeness, enthusiastic work ethic, and relationship building skills were the key to her building a new audience in LA for the event. She did a great job of marketing and promoting the event. LA was a new city for us in 2011 and it was our highest attendance of our first-time cities. Her ability to organize her tasks and meet deadlines were the key to hosting a successful event. Lisa did social media marketing for the event, and conducted local public relations.

In addition to event planning, she also was the emcee for the event and utilized her presentation skills to provide critical information and deliver 'calls to action'.
