Alexandra Stephan reposted thisAlexandra Stephan reposted thisPeople think working in events is glamorous. In reality, I’m: sprinting into the convention center pretending I’m calm, making small talk while solving three problems in my head, answering logistics emails from a bathroom stall, and getting a “can you handle this real quick” message as the wine hits the table. It’s messy, exhausting, and absolutely not what it looks like on Instagram. Still wouldn’t trade it for anything. I love this sh*t 😂 IYKYK 😉

Alexandra Stephan reposted thisAlexandra Stephan reposted thisBefore you get into Events, you should probably know this… You’ll work 14-hour days on your feet. Eat lunch next to a dumpster. You’ll cry in the car, then walk into the room like nothing happened. You’ll have 1 million tabs open in your brain… and still remember what time the portable loos arrive. You won’t sleep the week of the show. And you’ll bloody love it. This job will break you and build you. But with the right team and the right tools - you’re invincible. ✷ Follow for more like this.

Alexandra Stephan reposted thisAlexandra Stephan reposted this“Oh, you just plan events?” If I had a penny for every time I heard that… 👀 People think event management is just picking venues and finalising menus. But behind every event is a seriously skilled individual juggling about 100 different plates at once. Over the last 12+ years, I’ve picked up a toolkit most people wouldn’t even realise comes with the job. So let’s break it down… Here’s what an Event Manager actually does (and yes, we do all of these—often at the same time): 🧠 Project Management – Timelines, task delegation, Gantt charts, Trello boards, you name it. We keep a million moving parts aligned. 💸 Budgeting & Financial Management – Whether it's a small or large budget, we forecast costs, negotiate rates, track spend, and keep everything on budget. This can often be the most challenging part, especially if you're working with a tight budget. That's where sponsorships and partners can help reduce your costs. 🚛 Logistics & Operations – Transporting equipment across cities, managing on-site crew, sorting permits, booking suppliers, and even down to how many power sockets do we need? 🗣️ Stakeholder & Client Management – Juggling the needs of clients, vendors, venues, sponsors, and guests while keeping everyone happy (and sane). This part definitely demands the patience of a saint 🙃 Ironically I have zero patience when it comes to my personal life. 📣 Marketing & Communications – Writing copy, creating campaigns, managing guest lists, email marketing, social content, and PR—hello brand awareness! 📊 Data & Reporting – Post-event wrap-ups, ROI reports, attendance tracking, engagement metrics— if you don't measure it, did it even happen? 🔥 Crisis Management – Rain on your outdoor launch? Catering mix-up? Keynote speaker ghosted? We fix it. Calmly. With a smile (and gritted teeth) 🤣 🎨 Creative Direction – Themes, brand styling, set design, visuals, vibes—we bring the vision to life, from mood board to final moment. My fave part 😍 🧩 Problem Solving – Every single event has at least one (or five) unexpected curveballs. We adapt, fast. 🤝 Team Leadership – Coordinating staff, volunteers, AV crew, talent… We lead from the front and behind the scenes. So no, I don’t just plan events... I run operations. I lead teams. I manage budgets. I create experiences. I tell stories. I solve problems under pressure. Hi, I’m Amber, an Event Manager. And if you know, you know...

My career has taken me through events, recruiting, employer branding, and most recently medical aesthetics—but the common thread has always been people.

I’m excited to bring that experience into this next chapter and learn from such an incredible team leading the industry. Thank you to everyone who supported, encouraged, and cheered me on through this transition.

Alexandra Stephan liked thisAlexandra Stephan liked this📍 A man was reported for “drinking tea all day and not working.” ☕ Security checked the cameras… Instead of disciplining him, they gave him a salary bonus. 👏 Why? Because he had found a smarter way. He positioned himself perfectly beneath the conveyor so every sack landed directly on his shoulder. One movement ✅ No wasted effort ✅ Maximum productivity ✅ Looking busy isn’t the same as being productive 🚀 The best employees don’t always work harder... They work smarter 💥 Have you ever worked with someone who looked like they weren’t doing much… but consistently outperformed everyone else? 👇 Share your story. #Leadership #Productivity #WorkSmart #Innovation #Efficiency

Alexandra Stephan reacted on thisAlexandra Stephan reacted on thisAfter nearly a decade at Salesforce, this week I started a new chapter at Stripe! It’s hard to put into words how grateful I am for my time at Salesforce. I had the chance to work alongside incredibly talented people, learn from amazing mentors, and shape products and narratives that reached millions of marketers around the world. Thank you to everyone who has been part of that journey. So what’s next? I’m thrilled to join Stripe as Head of Executive Content & Experiences, where I’ll help tell the story of an incredible company that’s building the economic infrastructure of the internet. Excited for what’s ahead! 🚀

Alexandra Stephan liked thisAlexandra Stephan liked thisThis week, our Global Access Meetings team spent a few days together at The Langham, Chicago for our annual retreat. We took a step back from our day-to-day to focus on how we can continue evolving as a team and delivering even greater experiences for our clients. The opportunity to learn from one another, share best practices, explore new technology, and have thoughtful conversations about where our industry is headed left me feeling inspired and excited for what’s ahead. A big thank you to our guest speakers, Tess M. Vismale, CMP Fellow, DES, CGTP and Kristel Bauer, for sharing their expertise with us. Tess led a hands-on session demonstrating how technology can streamline workflows and create more impactful event experiences. Kristel challenged us to think differently about sustainable high performance, resilience, and work-life harmony, while sharing practical strategies we can apply both professionally and personally. Their sessions sparked meaningful conversations and gave us ideas we’re excited to put into practice. I’m grateful to be part of a team of event professionals who genuinely care about one another, are always looking for ways to improve, and bring so much passion to the work we do. Thank you to everyone who made this week such a meaningful one. #GlobalAccessMeetings #TeamRetreat #MeetingsAndEvents #EventProfs #Chicago

Every day I get to work alongside talented teammates who challenge me to think bigger, inspire me to keep learning, and encourage me to be the best field marketer I can be. The collaboration, trust, and support across our teams make all the difference, and I’m lucky to be surrounded by people who genuinely want each other to succeed. Thank you to everyone I’ve had the opportunity to work with. This recognition is a reflection of what we accomplish together #ONETEAM.
