• Speaker & Panel Graphics: Produce 50+ individual speaker graphics (headshot, company logo, branded layout) and 7–8 panel graphics (multi-speaker layouts with titles and sponsor integration).
• Sponsor & Partner Assets: Design 1 master sponsor banner (print and digital) per event with ~3–4 revisions as needed, and manage ongoing sponsor logo organization for email, web, and presentations.
• Social & Promotional Graphics: Create LinkedIn-first promotional assets for ~60 posts per event, consisting of individual speaker, company, and summit branding, including ~10 panel/fireside posts.

Email & Media Assets

• Create and refresh daily email graphics (SendGrid or equivalent), updated every weeknight to reflect speaker and sponsor changes.

• (Optional) Update WordPress site with speaker profiles, sponsor updates, and refreshed collateral.

Workflow & Management

• Maintain existing design systems in Microsoft PowerPoint and Adobe Photoshop.
• Ensure clear version control, organized file delivery via shared drive, and seamless communication with the team.
