- Description: To demonstrate it's commitment to the webOS ecosystem, HP hosted a series of global events to build awareness and momentum among application developers, designers and business partners. I led the end-to-end program management for webOS CONNECT and all other event initiatives for the webOS Developer Relations Team. I was directly responsible for the overall strategy, planning and execution of eight webOS CONNECT events worldwide. I leveraged the resources of the global organization in collaboration with local business development leaders to deliver a resonant and relevant program in eight major markets spanning North-America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific. Within the construct of a cost-effective and repeatable "event-in-a-box" we delivered a bespoke mix of keynotes, panels, technical training, code labs, partner presentations, incentive programs and networking sessions to galvanize the existing community and gain traction with a growing number of "mobile expressionists" leading to an increase in the quality and quantity of apps on the platform.
