- Proficient Systems Knowledge: Minimum of 3–5 years of advanced administrative experience in Cvent and Moodle.
- Industry Credentialing: CMP (Certified Meeting Professional) preferred to ensure industry-standard best practices.
- Proven Track Record: Portfolio of successful hybrid events (simultaneous in-person and virtual audiences).
