About the Speaker
Ms. Curtin has been in the membership, sales and meeting & event industry for almost 20 years. Her current responsibilities include oversight of NYC’s convention and destination services strategy as well as membership growth, retention and programs. After years of association experience in the Washington, DC area, she joined NYC & Company’s DC office in 1997, selling New York City as the meeting destination of choice for the professional association and government markets.

In 1998, she moved back to her home of New York to direct trade show management and meetings and events for NYC & Company, then called the New York Convention & Visitors Bureau. In January 2004, Ms. Curtin assumed her current responsibilities of leading membership development and sales. In 2008, she oversaw the rebranding of NYC & Company’s convention services division as destination services and implementation of new strategies to assist conventions and meetings booked in New York City including attendance building, welcome desks and delegate programs. She also oversees NYC & Company’s official publications which include the NYC Official Meeting Planner, the NYC Official Travel Planner and the NYC Official Visitor Guide.

Before joining NYC & Company, Ms. Curtin served as meeting manager for the American College of Osteopathic Surgeons, and planned meetings and directed the membership department for the Society for Neuroscience—increasing their membership from 21,000 to 30,000 during her tenure—both in the Washington, DC, metro area. Ms. Curtin became a Certified Meeting Planner in 2002 and is a member of Hospitality Sales & Marketing Association, the Greater New York Chapter of Meeting Professionals International and Destination Management Association International.

Ms. Curtin graduated from Providence College in Providence, Rhode Island, with a BA in psychology.
