About Nicole Wright

In high school, I found my passion for event planning through Rotary International. I love being able to create someone’s vision into a reality and put on a successful event for them and their attendees. My sharp eye for detail and strong logistic coordination skills allow me to balance multiple projects with overlapping deadlines. Working with various types of venues, vendors, and clients has enhanced my creative thinking and problem-solving skills. Strategic planning also allows me to support team members with a positive attitude and manage timelines and budgets efficiently. I believe excellent communication and organizational skills can foster immaculate events leaving both the client and attendees beyond satisfied.Memorable Career Points:•Created a successful Security Operation Plan and was able to cut out $15K in costs with YoY analysis• Became well versed in other industries to support program needs (behavioral sciences, mental health, substance use disorder, gaming, entertainment, animation)•Increased conference registration by 30% in one year.•Doubled exhibitor booth sales in one year.
