Project: Event Management of a holiday event for a local organization
Date: 2022

​

When Kayleigh received a call from the President of the Bridgeport Regional Business Council (BRBC) in November of 2022, asking if she would join the team and head up the planning for their 300+ person holiday dinner, she said yes! 

​

What they had done already: 
- Date picked

​

What needed to be done:

- Confirm venue.

- Confirm speaker.

- Design flyer, social media graphics, email signature image, mailer, presentation, and program.

- Write bios, a series of emails, social media announcements, and a registration page.

- Manage attendee list including lists of guests for the sponsors.

​

How it happened:

Kayleigh met with the team at the BRBC to gather information and gain access to needed systems, and then they got to work! 

​

Kayleigh designed all promotional images and graphics, worked with staff to put a list of sponsors together and gather a list of mailing addresses for the mailer, created a workflow to make sure nothing was overlooked, and communicated with the staff on a regular basis. 

​

She also helped with the collection and coordination of the sponsor bags, which included a book written and signed by the keynote speaker. 

​

How it went:

On the night of the event, about 300 people attended the event. Kayleigh was there to help with the check-in process, set up, break down, and take some photos. The event was as successful as previous events (if not more so) even though it was put together in about three weeks.
