WHY TAKE THIS INTERACTIVE SESSION? How do you build it so they will come? Ask Elizabeth Ruiz, who built one of her businesses, an event management business, by the application of project management to the creation and development of small and large-scale personal and corporate events such as conferences, formal parties, and conventions. Elizabeth studied the brand, identified its target audience, devised the event concept, and coordinated the technical aspects before actually launching her events. As a serial entrepreneur, Elizabeth has the ability to quickly advance an idea through the start-up phase into a sustainable growth trajectory. You can’t continue to develop new ideas or projects if you’re unable to scale those quickly, which enables you to move on to the next project or idea. Elizabeth has created, started, led, and sold multiple businesses over the past three decades.
