Event Intern
Company
MCW Events
Overview
In the office, my responsibilities primarily involve budget tracking through invoice management, coordinating with coffee cart vendors, and contributing to slide deck development. On-site, I handle tasks such as procurement, organizing client gifts, and providing support as needed. I had the opportunity to fully immerse myself in an on-site venture in San Francisco with MCW Events last fall. Working alongside a skilled team to manage over 2200 attendees for GitHub Universe was both exhilarating and gratifying. The collaborative atmosphere infused our collective efforts with a dynamic energy, significantly enhancing our accomplishments. I also assist with projects, collaborate on slide deck creation, verify numbers, reformat production schedules, and place orders.

Leadership Competencies Gained
Writing
During meetings, I take notes for my colleague who is leading the session, allowing them to concentrate on their presentation.
Research
I frequently manage sourcing projects where I seek out evening venues, espresso carts, or juice bars. This involves gathering their contact details, exploring potential branding collaborations, and arranging site visits for evaluation.
Lesson Learned
Everything was relatively new to me. I had to acquire proficiency in Google Sheets and various formulas. Mastering email writing became necessary, as it is not typically included in formal education. I demonstrated a proactive approach by readily seeking clarification through inquiries and consistently expressing my interest in participating in various projects.
