Meet Ups
In the ever-evolving landscape of technology, the power of collaboration cannot be overstated. When presented with the opportunity to create and manage the DocuSign Meetup program, I eagerly embraced the chance to cultivate a space where DocuSign enthusiasts could unite, learn, and flourish together.
My love for meeting people and empowering them in their professional roles became the driving force behind the inception of the DocuSign Meetup program. As the orchestrator of this initiative, I set out with a clear vision — to establish a forum where DocuSign users could come together, share their experiences, and elevate their understanding of DocuSign’s capabilities.
We meet monthly, for one hour, creating a virtual space that alternates between exploring general DocuSign content and delving into specialized sessions for DocuSign users. The intention is to cater to the diverse needs and interests of our global community.



Events
I spearheaded the meticulous planning and execution of various third-party events, including flagship gatherings like Dreamforce and TrailblazerDX, spanning multiple years and centering on the convergence of event planning and content marketing.
My multifaceted role extended beyond sponsorship management, encompassing the handling of creative requests and the strategic formulation of event blueprints. This involved intricacies like coordinating booth staffing with subject matter experts, curating compelling demonstrations, and designing alluring swag items to elevate the overall event ambiance.
In addition to the event itself, my responsibilities extended to overseeing pre- and post-event activities, involving the creation and promotion of blogs. I seamlessly orchestrated comprehensive social media endeavors before, during, and after each event to optimize outreach and engagement. Furthermore, I spearheaded email campaigns targeting leads generated at these events, ensuring a holistic approach to audience interaction.
A standout accomplishment was my pivotal role in social media campaigns, resulting in an outstanding 47% increase in registrations for our happy hour event. This success underscores my proficiency in driving impactful promotional initiatives and serves as a testament to my expertise in the intricate intersection of event planning and content marketing.
@Lauren Bolopue – She’s here, she’s there, she’s everywhere!

Big thanks for live tweeting from @DocuSignAPI, too!
