Responsibilities

My responsibilities during my internship vary each week. I assist with Sales Club Award Program, trade shows, and conferences. I work with stakeholders to discuss what is needed to complete results. I do post event analysis and shadow members of our events and experiences team. My internship is remote so I have numerous zoom meetings throughout the week.

Accomplishments

My greatest accomplishment is creating the post event analysis presentation for Future Stack, New Relic's annual tech conference.

Learning experience

I think the greatest lesson I've learned is the entire event planning process can take months/years. There are a lot of small steps that are crucial to an event that I wasn't aware about and I am grateful I've had the opportunity to experience them. I've also learned that Networking is a powerful tool in the professional world. These connections can lead to important conversations.

What advice would you give?

Always have a positive attitude and be open to learning new things! Make the most of your opportunity to network with other individuals in your industry!
