Johns Hopkins Carey Business School convened leading researches across its famous University for a two-day event highlighting the most innovative research and groundbreaking solutions for urban grand challenges. On day one, 13 PhD researchers convened for a Doctoral Consortium, followed by a day of programs featuring more than 20 renowned experts engaged in conversation-style sessions at the Symposium and a keynote address presented by CNN’s Emma Lacey-Bordeaux.

Doctoral students came from 4 countries and 8 states in the USA. Expert academics represented 3 countries, 10 states in the USA, and 13 American universities. the Johns Hopkins community included presenters from the School of Medicine, the Bloomberg School of Public Health, the School of Nursing, the Krieger School of Arts & Sciences, and the School of Education, all hosted by the Johns Hopkins Carey Business School and Symposium Director Dr. Phil Phan.
I provided event organization and management, building from Dr. Phan’s inspired concept and stewarding his vision through execution of the two-day program. I coordinated the call for doctoral abstracts; acted as liaison to the Carey School’s professional events team to coordinate all site logistics, equipment, and catering; coordinated with the Marketing Department to gather speaker bios and design the event program; documented all student and presenter travel to ensure high engagement and a seamless guest experience; and I executed all aspects of event management including budget, schedule, day-of-event execution, and closeout.
