Spinnaker Summit 2018

The Spinnaker Summit was the brainchild of Modev founder Pete Erickson, and strategic partner Netflix. Modev is, at its core, a community developers, engineers, designers, product leaders and executives, and the firm produces events that bring the community together for educational and networking opportunities to advance as individuals and organizations. Initially, Beth worked with Modev’s remote co-project manager to develop the room assignments, schedule, audio visual, food and beverage, and event app development. Through a series of phone calls and virtual walkthroughs, Beth worked to optimize the space for the main sessions and breakout sessions, and worked with the audio/visual team to develop a visually stunning and technologically-advanced plenary stage. After fleshing out the schedule and the rooms that were being used for the overall event, it was time to engage local partners and plan the ancillary/sponsor events, including location and menu. Beth then worked to create onsite signage and select technology partners for registration, check-in, wayfinding, and networking at the conference. Working with event app Socio, Beth developed and updated the Summit’s branded app and rolled it out to attendees three weeks prior to the event. When it came time to execute the event, Beth provided remote support for her team onsite, including app updates, communicating with vendors, and closing out invoices as needed. The result was a 3-day conference with over 300 attendees.
