Illinois Alliance for Clean Transportation
Green Drives alsip
Green Drives is one of the largest clean transportation conferences in the Midwest. Put on by the Illinois Alliance for Clean Transportation (IACT), it is hosted annually somewhere in the Chicagoland area. The event is a must-attend for government officials, commercial and municipal fleet managers, corporate sustainability officers, and clean-tech and clean-energy professionals seeking to adopt cleaner, lower-emission fuels and technologies while reducing costs. Attendees gain valuable insights through networking opportunities with national and regional experts and by learning directly from fleets actively using alternative fuels and electric vehicles to enhance their operations.
Green Drives requires working both independently and on a team to organize, plan, and operate. In the spring of 2024, Green Drives was held in Alsip, Illinois at Powering Chicago’s IBEW-NECA Technical Institute. Preparation included signing event sponsors; providing sponsor gifts and keeping track of sponsor incentives; designing and printing signs; preparing social media posts and email marketing campaigns ahead of the event; creating an event slideshow; organizing vehicles for display; and communicating with speakers leading up to the event.
Ezoic
Club22
Club22 was an event I planned while working at Ezoic that was dedicated to gathering the company’s most vital customers from all over the world for networking, dinners, presentations, awards, and spending time at the beautiful Omni Resort and Spa in Carlsbad, California.
Preparation for the event included selecting invitees, speakers, and presentation topics; working closely with the Omni Resort & Spa to organize attendees’ lodging at the resort, the presentation room, and lunch hour; ordering branded swag items for attendees; organizing the catered party we hosted at the Ezoic offices; and serving as event manager during the entire Club22 weekend.
Affiliate Gathering 2022 & 2023
Affiliate Gathering is the UK’s biggest gathering of content creators & niche website entrepreneurs. In 2022, Ezoic dipped its toes into a general sponsorship, and in 2023, Ezoic opted to be the headline sponsor. In both years, my duties included organizing a speaker from Ezoic and assisting with the presentation, providing necessary graphic and written assets, ordering branded swag items, coordinating an Ezoic-hosted workshop, and booking Ezoic employees’ hotel arrangements.
