Hearken Summit

I served as the event planner for Hearken’s inaugural Engagement Innovation Summit in October 2019, managing all logistics, timelines, vendors, registration, and overall event execution.

This groundbreaking summit brought together professionals, senior leaders, students, and entrepreneurs across industries to explore audience engagement, community-building best practices, and strategies for long-term organizational sustainability.

With critical elections approaching worldwide, the event featured a special focus on innovative approaches to engaged election coverage. Attendees gained valuable insights, practical toolkits, and new connections to drive public-powered journalism forward.

Unlike traditional conferences, the summit featured interactive, hands-on sessions led by interdisciplinary facilitators, fostering collaboration, problem-solving, and meaningful discussions—without long keynotes or sales-driven presentations.
