About the position

The Conference-Event Manager I position at the University of Florida involves collaborating with staff and clients to establish clear event goals and objectives. The role requires the development and recommendation of event operating procedures, as well as the establishment and management of event planning timelines. The Conference-Event Manager will create task assignments and propose the necessary resources needed to execute successful events. This position is crucial for the planning and execution of an annual conference, where the manager will work closely with members of the Strategic Plan team to ensure all aspects of the event are aligned with the organization's goals. In addition to planning, the Conference-Event Manager will work with designers to create invitations, promotional materials, and other printed items necessary for the event. Leadership and coordination are key components of this role, as the manager will oversee speakers, staff, and volunteers during the event program and production. Establishing professional relationships with community partners is essential, as the manager will be responsible for securing support letters, Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs), and Continuing Education Units (CEUs). The role also includes attending advisory committee meetings, specifically the Clinical Effectiveness Group (CEG), and preparing post-event analyses to assess opportunities for improvement. The Conference-Event Manager will make recommendations for enhancing events and services for both internal and external stakeholders and will implement these recommendations as appropriate.
