ABOUT JULIE DANASTASIO
Creating memorable, high-impact experiences is my superpower. As a young child, I was a personal witness to the stress and frustration event planning can bring. Every holiday I would watch as my mother would become overwhelmed with the intricate details involved in planning holiday and celebratory events at our home. I made a vow that I would never make hosting events a stressful experience. In high school, I began to flourish in my creative talents. Taking on a part-time job at a flower shop introduced me to the world of event planning. And from there I turned my passion into a career. From my first role as an Event Coordinator, to my current role as a AVP of Meetings and Events, I have excelled in creating experiences that are not only exceptional but are ones that invoke an emotional response in attendees — binding them to the company and increasing their loyalty. Through creating bold strategy and design, I have succeeded in crafting experiential and immersive experiences that turn moments into memories. A few of my stand out achievements include: Propelled a rapid increase in the event satisfaction score — from 69% to 92% in only one year. Achieved a 99% top-tier box satisfaction score from a large-scale national event. Outperformed a majority of services in the last Annual Advisor Survey with a 2nd place rank. Specialties: Large-Scale Event management | Event Planning and Execution | Global Events Strategy | Budget Management | Stakeholder Engagement | Relationship Management | Vendor Management | Process Improvement | Partnership Building I welcome the opportunity to connect with like-minded professionals and industry leaders.
