About Maureen Akal

With over ten years of experience as a Registration & Housing Manager, I manage all aspects of housing and registration for events, scaling from 100 to attendees. I work with Windhausen Marketing dba Interact.events, a leading event and marketing company that provides innovative and cost-effective solutions for complex event needs. My strengths are in building and maintaining strong relationships with hotel partners, creating and developing registration sites that ensure a seamless and positive experience for attendees, and working with the NCAA to meet their event goals and objectives. I also excel at streamlining processes, reducing costs, and providing excellent customer service for all attendees. I am proficient in various registration and housing programs, such as Reg Online, Your Membership, and Passkey. I enjoy finding ways to improve efficiency and quality while delivering memorable and impactful events.
