About Olivia

Need a rigorous profile to manage the logistics of your next event?

Complex management of service providers, tight schedules, exhibitor flows to absorb... Organizing a large-scale event requires absolute operational mastery. As an event logistics specialist, I take care of the entire technical and operational dimension of your projects, from the back-office preparation phase to on-site management.

Why work together?

🧠 Dual Expertise in Trade Shows & Food and Beverage (F&B): Capable of managing both the technical reception of hundreds of exhibitors at a trade show and the heavy logistics related to catering for thousands of participants (flow management, caterers, timing coordination).

"Office & Field" Formula: I enjoy the upstream scoping phase (budget management, administrative coordination, backward planning) as much as the adrenaline of D-Day in operations (team briefings, unforeseen event management).

What I do for you:

• Scope & Plan: Establish setup/dismantling schedules, create exhibitor technical guides, optimize layout plans, and monitor budgets.

• Manage & Coordinate: Manage the supply chain, rigorously monitor field suppliers (technical/AV, electricians, security, cleaning), and ensure compliance.

• Orchestrate D-Day: Overall operations management, service provider reception, management of delivery flows, transportation (roadshows, tours), and public circulation.

Available for logistical support missions, general operations management, tour management, and operational coordination in agencies, companies, or NPOs.
