About Meredith Carli

Most recently worked as a contract Executive Specialist on Hurricane Helene response with FEMA in Western North Carolina. Over 10 years of conference and trade show production experience in business, United Nations, and NGO environments. Interested in taking my events management experience into non-profits and/or the public sector, particularly as it relates to emergency and disaster management. Versatile and creative show producer at EnsembleIQ, a leading B2B market intelligence media company. I support the event goals of the Path to Purchase Institute and Consumer Goods Technology by leading all show production-related elements for virtual, live, and hybrid events. I successfully transitioned to virtual events during the COVID pandemic, using platforms including EventMobi, Swoogo, and Swapcard to create and deliver engaging content, registration, and sponsorship opportunities. I have also overseen the production and delivery of five annual B2B conferences in domestic and international locations and markets, including in Copenhagen, Toronto, and Bogota, working closely with speakers, sponsors, vendors, and leaders of business and governments to ensure their satisfaction and alignment with the event objectives. My passion is to produce amazing events that connect, inform, and inspire audiences across different industries and geographies.
