I’m the Event Director (and also business owner, if you will) of DMSS Conference.Īs a one-woman show I basically cover all areas of the business, from strategic work, to marketing and sales, partnerships, event organisation, sponsorships, customer support, well basically everything that is needed to make the event happen in November.


2) What is your current role and what does it entail on a day to day basis? After a successful 2nd edition I fully took over the project. Spending nearly 2 years in Singapore I left the city life and moved to Bali where I was hired from a co-working space to do marketing and later on as an Event Manager to organise the DMSS Conference. I was responsible for their marketing and communications and ended up finally to organise 4000-pax festivals. I started as an intern in an events agency called Sunshine Nation in Singapore which turned into a job later on. That is when I knew I wanted to explore the world more so I looked for internships in Asia, which was (and still is) one of the most exciting markets. So I decided to do a Master in Marketing in London and Paris. Vienna was also the place where I completed my Bachelor’s Degree in Economics.Īfter a few internships in agencies and different marketing positions, I knew that marketing, creativity and project management was the thing for me.
