• Own and manage end-to-end event technology for Tier 1 events, including registration platforms and reporting
• Establish best practices for event planning, execution, and post-event analysis to improve efficiency and consistency across programs
• Develop and track key event metrics (e.g., attendance, engagement, pipeline impact), and partner cross-functionally to measure success
• Own relationships with event technology and production vendors, ensuring seamless execution and continuous optimization
• Own planning and execution of key workstreams, like registration framework and strategy, for our annual user conference, Config
• Support in developing strategy and executing smaller-scale community events, developer events, and third-party sponsorships
• Support on-site execution, including logistics, run-of-show management, and post-event retrospectives
