Krys will be primarily responsible for growing FMI’s annual FMI Connect event organically and through strategic co-location partnerships, and recruiting and managing the relationship with co-location partners. Krys will draw from her previous efforts to pro-actively collaborate on researching, planning, coordinating and directing all attendance-building and promotion efforts. As a long-term goal, Krys will help to evolve the exhibit and tradeshow component of FMI Connect year over year.
