About Caroline

In 2022, I transitioned into event management, dedicating my skills and passion to producing and developing impactful and innovative events.

Previously an engineer, my career is built on a strong sense of organization, good interpersonal skills, and autonomy in project management.

The events I have organized are primarily musical, with significant scenography, stage performances, happenings, and entertainment. However, I am motivated to work on a broader range of events.

What makes my profile unique is my background in the free party scene.
I joined the collective OTTOBiS, initially as a volunteer, then became a member and organized several events, including two at Virage (1200 people, Paris 17) and a large-scale event at Point Fort d’Aubervilliers (2500 people/day, over 2 days, 2 stages).
Highly invested, I started as head of communications and quickly evolved to become vice-president of the collective, organizing events that attracted an increasingly large audience. OTTOBiS's specialty was designing all the scenography, games, and entertainment internally, with members and a large group of volunteers. This allowed me to express my creativity, manage teams, and gain experience in production.

My work at OTTOBiS led me to be noticed by Horde, a company that organizes and produces musical and festive events. I then became a freelancer, and my experience was enriched by working on their projects. I managed several large-scale events, such as at Cabaret Sauvage (1300 people) and Point Fort d'Aubervilliers (2500 people, 2 stages). These assignments allowed me to develop solid skills in project management, team coordination, and event logistics management, while being responsible for production from start to finish.
