EVENTS
Live Events
Over the past 15 years, I have produced a variety of events for some incredible causes. From supporting the Santa Barbara Downtown corridor by leading arts and cultural initiatives, to galas for the Arthritis Foundation to most recently amplifying the voice of the San Francisco business community. Below are highlights of some of my favroite events.
Excellence in Business Awards 2022
The Excellence in Business Awards came back in-person in 2022. We, Reset The Stage, as we showcased San Francisco’s vibrant performing arts community and shined a light on how the arts are vital for our City’s recovery. With special performances by Disney’s Frozen, A.C.T, Club Fugazi, and Circus Center – we celebrated the best of San Fransico’s business community.
WELL Conference 2022
WELL is the SF Chamber’s Diversity Equity & Inclusion initiative which provides workplace resources, best practices, and a broad community of support for attendees to advance gender equality and workplace inclusion within their own organizations. The 2022 event was the WELL Conference’s return to a live format as we highlighted powerful female speakers, surrounding the theme of WELLness.

The tour ended with a final party with music, a silent auction and more libations. This event was sold out at 500 guests and surpassed fundraising goals.
Virtual Events
As the live events industry came to to a pause in 2020, I pivoted all San Francisco Chamber of Commerce events and programs into virtual expereinces. The goal was to expand our brand awareness, build compelling content for our audiences and continue to highlight our members and sponsors. Below are highlights of some of my highest profile virtual events.
Excellence in Business Awards 2020
The Excellence in Business Awards went 100% virtual in 2020. As a way to increase audience engagement, we elevated our video production, collaborated with ABC and SF Magazine, hosted an interactive chat option and delivered 2-course meals to all sponsors and nominees.
