Liz Caruso (King) All about Events, Tech, Branding & Engagement

In Nov 2013 I was hired to be the Lead Social Media Strategist for the Long Beach Convention and Entertainment Center relaunch of the Pacific Ballroom Arena ($10M renovation). I had very short lead time to build buzz surrounding the event so I decided to tap social media influencers in the events industry to be Social Influencer Reporters. Liz is highly regarded as one of the most influential social media bloggers and marketing personalities in the events industry. Her name alone gives any event instant credibility. Her support and influence online through blogging, tweeting, instagramming, pinning and facebooking and offline through public speaking and face-to-face representation is a huge reason why the relaunch was so successful and why the event continues to receive tremendous press from the top events industry magazines. I can not wait to work with Liz again and will not hesitate to hire her again as a Social Influencer Reporter.

Liz is a highly motivated and knowledgeable Event Planner. I've known Liz for a couple of years and have frequently sought out her wisdom concerning all aspects related to event planning and technology.

Since May 2013, I have had the pleasure of working for Liz directly on various client and internal projects for Liz King Events. As a manager, Liz excels at inspiring the team and delegating tasks to ensure that event event vision becomes a memorable experience.

Liz King is a very detailed-oriented and technology savvy event planning professional. I am fortunate to have the opportunity to work with and learn from her through many projects in the past two years at CCE. Aside from her ability to effectively manage and promote our large size networking events (with average of 400+ people in attendance), her ability to integrate innovative technology to streamline our event implementation has proven to be a great asset to our office. At our recent annual career fair networking dinner, Liz implemented a fantastic iPad event check-in app to help us speed-up our registration tremendously. Everyone, including our guests, were very impressed with our process, all because of Liz’s creative idea and her great event planning mind-set. Also, her wealth of social media knowledge had helped our office to enhance in our social media presence. Everyone knows that she is THE TECHNOLOGY & SOCIAL MEDIA GURU and a great resource for all of us. We are very fortunate to have her with us.

When it comes to Social Media, Liz King Rocks! I have had the great pleasure of not only having Liz as a Guest Speaker in my classes at NYU, I also have had the pleasure to see her deliver her expertise before a few thousand event professionals at BizBash. I'm happy to share her with the world, but she really is "my" Social Media guru! Liz brings warmth, expertise, and clarity to the fast-moving and ever-changing world of Social Media. Above all, however, Liz brings Passion (with a capital "p"). She is passionate and gifted at using Social Media to advance both content and competencies in the event industry. Whether you are new to Social Media or preparing to broaden your offerings, I highly recommend you get in touch with Liz, so she can help you select the right tools to make your life a lot easier.

Liz King embodies extraordinary talent and the will to take no excuses in her mission to make every event a success. Liz King's events are always well planned, organized and have that "wow" factor so that you and your guests will ALWAYS remember it. I truly appreciate her eye for details, setting up my gift registry, invitation announcements and RSVP's. Once you hire Liz, tell her what you want she will make it happen and add her special touch to make it extraordinary. The best part is that YOU can sit back, relax and be a guest at your own event because Liz and her team have taken care of everything for you.

Liz is a phenomenal worker. Aside from her ability to undertake large projects while keeping a keen eye on details, she always has a smile one her face. No matter how late the hours, she is a joy to work with. I am quite lucky to have been able to work with her for so long.

Liz is an OUTSTANDING and dedicated colleague who has single-handedly made it easy for me to adjust in my role at CCE. If there was a such thing as a workplace superhero, Liz King would be the personification of it.

Liz is someone you absolutely want on your team. She has been an invaluable asset to all the projects I have had the privilege to work with her on and to our office in general. She is extremely organized, efficient, and professional. She approaches her work with intellgence and integrity, whether planning a large event or writing a marketing blurb. What I most appreciate about her is that no matter the task or project, whether she is the leader or a team member, she puts sincere thought into how to best meet the team's objectives or improve upon previous efforts. She is someone who comes up with new and fresh ideas no matter what team she is a part of. Moreover, when Liz takes responsibility for a project or task, I trust completely that it will be done superbly.

I've had the pleasure of working with Liz on multiple projects, and she is always a team player. She is organized, detail-oriented, and efficient. The Center for Career Education has come to rely on her superb project planning and event management skills for many of our large scale events. She is always thinking of new ways to connect with our constituents and has taken many of social networking sites to the next level.

Liz is an excellent multi-tasker capable of managing myriad projects simultaneously. Her cheerful demeanor and excellent work ethic have earned her much respect around the office. In addition to managing projects and an intense workload, she plans and organizes numerous events of all sizes. She's also quite techie and manages the Center's facebook and twitter accounts. It has been a pleasure working with her in a variety of capacities.
