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.
