Overview

Beyond Borders: A Global Marketing Experience was the class event for MKTG 469, Global Marketing, at the University of Illinois Chicago. It was a breakfast session on April 27, 2026, in Douglass Hall. We offered free food, free coffee, and a morning of global marketing insights.

I served as the class coordinator and led the event from start to finish. I planned the program, designed the flyer, organized how classmates promoted it, and presented on the day.

The Beyond Borders event flyer I designed: "Breakfast is for champions." Free food, free coffee, 8:00 AM, April 27th, Douglass Hall Room 220.

What I did

  • Coordinated the class team and led planning and logistics.
  • Designed and produced the event flyer.
  • Directed classmates in promoting the event.
  • Arrived early with the supplies, food, and drinks.
  • Presented at the event.

Results

  • Full house: more than 20 attendees, above our attendance goal.
  • Participants reported high satisfaction with the event.
  • A classmate recognized my leadership in front of the class and said the work deserved extra credit.

What I learned

An event succeeds before anyone walks in. The attendance came from a clear plan, a flyer people noticed, and a team that knew exactly how to promote it. My job was to give everyone a specific role and then show up first.
