Jessica is a senior program manager with almost a decade of event planning and management experience. She discovered her passion and enthusiasm for the industry while completing her Bachelor of Commerce degree in the Hospitality & Tourism Management Program at Ryerson University.

Jessica started at Elastic as project co-ordinator and quickly became invaluable due to her ability to master the essential facets of successful event management – connecting people, devising smart solutions, and seeing the big picture while also mastering the fine details. Since then she has managed conferences, meetings and events of all shapes and sizes worldwide, and is responsible for all event elements from conception to execution.

Jessica's positive and energetic approach never fails to deliver programs that exceed client expectations, while providing hands-on attention to detail that ensures a successful event. It’s no surprise Jessica was awarded the 2011 Rising Star Award from Meetings & Incentive Travel Magazine.

Jessica grew up in small town Ontario – so she can line dance and drive a tractor. On top of her skills as an event manager she runs a farm with her husband – growing food for Canadians while running after her toddler and his sidekick cat.

Allie is a Program Manager with 15 years of event planning and management experience. She found her passion and enthusiasm for the industry early on while coordinating cooking classes, tutored tastings and wine appreciation classes within the LCBO. It wasn’t long before she was hooked and went back to school, graduating with a post graduate degree in Event Management – with honours – from Niagara College’s IFEA’s Pinnacle Award winning Event Management program.

Allie comes to Elastic with an extensive automotive event background where she successfully managed and planned events for a national association. Executing events with great attention to detail and always planning for the unexpected, her ability to both see the big picture and manage the finer details, means events executed by Allie are organized and structured with a high degree of personal integrity and professionalism.

Growing up in a small country town in Ontario’s cottage country, Allie can still be found enjoying many aspects of her country roots – snowboarding, running and the great outdoors. In her spare time, Allie can be found riding her motorcycle, off-roading in her Jeep and travelling for automotive events.
