About me
About As an Event Project Manager for the Future of Britain Conference 2023, I am responsible for planning and executing a large-scale event that showcases the vision of Britain's future. With over 10 years of experience in the events industry, I have developed a strong set of skills and competencies that enable me to deliver successful events that meet the needs and expectations of clients, stakeholders, and audiences. Prior to this project, I worked as a Senior Project Manager for Creative Equals, where I managed inclusion and diversity projects for some of their clients. I organised virtual training programmes and conferences across international locations, including New York, London, Mumbai, and Australia. I also have experience in content planning, design management, and digital strategy, which I applied to create engaging and relevant content for the events. My mission is to create impactful experiences that drive positive change and foster inclusivity in the events industry and beyond.
