Annual Conference Team Vacancies
Sponsor Coordinator
Reports to: Scott Minor
The Sponsor Coordinator oversees recruitment of conference sponsors and fulfillment of sponsor benefits promised for their level of sponsorship. This team member should expect to draft communication and maintain contact with potential and returning sponsors, with the oversight and approval of the conference Chief of Operations. At the conference, the sponsor coordinator will interact with sponsors to deliver sponsor benefits and communicate appreciation. The ideal candidate for this role should enjoy both organization development/fundraising as well as personal interaction.
This role can be managed in a small number of hours per week, but will grow busier close to the annual conference. The Sponsor Coordinator will be needed at the conference (registration fee waived) but will be responsible for travel and hotel costs.
Exhibit Hall Coordinator
Reports to: Scott Minor
The Exhibit Hall Coordinator assists with the operations of the vendor portion of the conference exhibit hall. Responsibilities include: tracking vendor applications and sorting for approval, making table assignments, communicating with vendors, table layout, set up, and labeling, help with delivery of shipments that arrive at the hotel, vendor check in, and general exhibit hall trouble shooting.
This role requires a few hours per week of work once conference registration opens, with more frequent communications going to exhibitors as the conference draws closer. At the conference, the coordinator will be busy on Wednesday and Thursday, but have minimal responsibility after that.
