You make the online events happen on the day.

### What you would do

An online event runs fine until the speaker cancels, the link is wrong, and nobody sent the reminder. A coordinator is the reason none of that happens.

- Run one event end to end: date, speakers, registration, reminders, and the day itself.
- Keep the single document that tells everybody involved what happens when.
- Work the day. Let people in, hold the time, fix what breaks.
- Close it out: recording, follow-up, and what to do differently next time.

### Who we are looking for

- You have organised events, online or in person, professionally or not.
- You stay calm when a speaker cancels two hours before.
- You write clearly to speakers and to attendees.

Events are taken one at a time. Say yes to the ones you have room for.

### What you get

Events that are yours, start to finish, with your own decisions in them. That is hard to get in a job where somebody senior owns the day.

### After you apply

You hear back from a person. Taking it further means one upcoming event handed to you, with its date, its speakers and its constraints.
