The Pop in Your Job
As Program Director, I am responsible for the content of the agenda and the selection of speakers at the event. I love learning first-hand about innovative programs, industry challenges and meeting experts in person. When I'm not researching for my next big event, I'm visiting bookstores, buying books and planning my next trip to Latin America.
