American Marketing Association’s Networking Gala

I lead the planning and coordination of AMA’s Networking Gala, a large-scale professional networking event designed to connect students with local businesses and marketing professionals. I reach out to local organizations and businesses, including AMA Tampa Bay, and coordinate their participation as speakers and networking partners.

I manage the event’s logistics, including booth setup and networking arrangements, creating an environment where students can connect directly with professionals about internships, entry-level opportunities, and career paths. Part of this role also allows me to coordinate booth setup and networking opportunities, creating a valuable space for both students and participating businesses to connect.

The event gives firms the opportunity to build relationships with emerging business professionals, share their work, and connect with potential future interns and employees, while students gain direct access to industry professionals, career insights, and potential internship and entry-level opportunities.
