• Send thank-you emails with recordings, slides, resources, and feedback forms.
• Follow up with no-shows and share upcoming event opportunities.
• Collect and organize judge feedback for pitch competition participants.
• Coordinate winner announcements and participation certificates when applicable.

5. Event Recaps & Reporting

• Prepare event recap posts and pitch competition winner announcements for LinkedIn.
• Coordinate event graphics and post-event content.
• Keep event records, attendance data, feedback, and follow-up status organized.

• Verify required founder submissions, including track screenshots and Operating Snapshots.
• Coordinate track assignments, calendar invitations, participation confirmations, and certificates.
