SCOPE

This annual multi-day convening is a signature event of the Institute is held in domestic and international venues. I have had the pleasure of helping to steer the creative and logistical aspects of the Forum with growing responsibility, year after year, under the leadership of our Executive Forum Director.

CHALLENGE & SOLUTION

I’ve led the creative direction of digital content, event invitations, email campaigns, on-screen and environmental graphics, and venue decor. I crafted effective email marketing campaigns and assisted with native ad deployment to an audience of students, faculty, policymakers, and other notable peace-minded organizations — a task made all the more challenging working with a previously untapped international audience during the 2019 Forum in Berlin. In 2020, like so many others, we moved to a completely virtual format for the first time due to health and safety precautions during the COVID-19 pandemic.
