    • Support smooth handoff from sourcing to planning and assist with concierge-level requests as needed
    • Monitor venue performance during execution and conduct post-event evaluations to inform future sourcing decisions
    • Demonstrate strong commercial awareness, identifying cost-saving opportunities and value-added services
    • Share best practices and contribute to continuous improvement in venue sourcing, negotiation, and vendor management
