Background
Uzakrota is a globally recognised travel and tourism platform, known for hosting some of the world’s leading industry summits—bringing together travel professionals, tech innovators, and tourism boards to explore the future of travel. From physical conferences to virtual summits, they create spaces where global travel meets strategic dialogue and innovation.
Working with Uzakrota was a crash course in international event marketing—fast-paced, complex, and always exciting. Across summits in Istanbul and online editions for Europe and the USA, I juggled a wide range of roles:
I managed event logistics, negotiated contracts, created content, and ran live digital operations. From coordinating 100+ speakers to moderating sessions and executing full-scale email campaigns, I made sure each touchpoint was smooth and impactful.
At the Istanbul Travel Summit alone, we welcomed 3,000+ attendees and speakers from across the globe. When COVID shifted everything online, I adapted quickly, helping the brand pivot and thrive in the digital event space.
Every event was high-stakes, high-impact—and incredibly rewarding.
Results and Impact
These efforts directly contributed to Uzakrota’s global reputation as a leader in digital travel events. By maintaining strong engagement across platforms, streamlining event workflows, and elevating the attendee experience, we boosted brand visibility, attracted high-profile sponsors, and grew international attendance year-on-year—even through the challenges of a pandemic pivot.
Following the success of these events, Uzakrota expanded its presence into new markets, including Azerbaijan, Saudi Arabia, and Ireland—cementing its role as a global connector in the travel and tourism industry.
