Academic Conference Engagement Coordinator

Descripción de la oferta
My team runs a series of online academic conferences that draw researchers, faculty, and graduate students from every continent. I need an experienced virtual event coordinator to take full ownership of attendee management, with a strong emphasis on communication and engagement before, during, and after each event. Here’s what success looks like to me: • Build and maintain a clean attendee database inside our chosen platform (Zoom Events, Whova, or Hopin—happy to use whichever you know best). • Draft and schedule all attendee-facing emails: confirmation, reminders across time zones, program highlights, and last-minute updates. • Moderate the live chat and Q&A during sessions, encouraging discussion while flagging questions for speakers. • Facilitate networking features such as breakout rooms, virtual poster sessions, or Slack/Discord channels so participants actually meet each other. • Generate post-event engagement reports that summarise attendance, interaction metrics, and actionable feedback. You will have direct access to our shared Google Workspace, Mailchimp, and Trello board for task tracking. Clear, responsive communication is essential; most of our speakers are professors who appreciate concise, respectful updates. If you have run academic or similarly knowledge-driven events online and can demonstrate high engagement rates, I’d like to see a brief outline of your approach and links to past events or dashboards.
