The Association of Event Organisers (AEO) has appointed Jess Wright as senior events executive.
Wright will be responsible for the organisation and management of AEO’s flagship events, including the AEO Forums, People’s Awards, Excellence Awards, and Conference. She will also oversee international dinners, conference icebreakers, executive-led summits, round tables, and fam trips.
Working under Sarah Scott, AEO’s director of events and operations, Wright will manage responsibilities such as supplier and venue liaison, speaker coordination, entertainment and production.
Wright was previously employed in marketing and projects at AEO and more recently held roles in social media, marketing and design. Prior to that she was event lead coordinator at Energi Coast.
Scott said: “Jess is proactive, solution focussed and a team player and her experience, together with her previous employment at AEO in marketing and projects means she’s brilliantly placed for this role.”
Wright said: “I’m thrilled to be returning to AEO and the events industry. It’s a great team and a fantastic opportunity to work closely with Sarah whom I know I’ll learn lots from. I look forward to getting stuck into the events, seeing some old faces and meeting new ones too.”
