Sarah K.

Experienced event, exhibit, and trade show management professional with a strong foundation in the business aviation industry. I bring over six years of success leading large-scale global event operations—strategically planning, managing, and delivering high-impact experiences for up to 22,000 attendees across North America and Europe. At the National Business Aviation Association (NBAA), I oversaw a portfolio of major events including NBAA-BACE, EBACE (Geneva), Schedulers & Dispatchers Conference, Maintenance Conference, and Regional Forums. I managed the full exhibit lifecycle for 1,800+ exhibitors annually—floorplans, contracts, assignments, logistics, and high-touch customer service. I’m skilled in: - End-to-end exhibit operations and strategic planning - Cross-functional coordination with marketing, education, and finance teams - Relationship-building with OEMs, FBOs, vendors, and stakeholders - Budget oversight, pricing strategy, and exhibitor payment tracking - Content development (service kits, portals, alerts) and exhibitor communications - Reviewing large-format booth designs and managing EAC compliance - Leading and mentoring team members, including interns Known for my calm under pressure, integrity, and collaborative approach, I thrive in dynamic environments where attention to detail, adaptability, and communication are key. Recently impacted by a budget-related workforce reduction, I’m now seeking contract or freelance opportunities in event production, trade show operations, exhibit management, or marketing support. Let’s connect and create impactful, well-run events together!
