About Anita Blackwood

I am a passionate Events Professional with deep marketing and leadership experience across a range of geographies. I combine strategic rigor and innovative thinking to develop and implement integrated event marketing programs that build brands and drive business growth. I have demonstrated the ability to galvanize and motivate diverse teams at all levels and functions to deliver tangible results. My superpower is Creative Thinking — I pride myself in coming up with innovative solutions to complex situations.

While I am based in Austin, Texas, due to my love of travel, at most times you will find me in the aisle seat of a plane. When I am not planning and executing events, I love to spend time with my husband and daughter, our golden retriever, Chance, and bichon, Duke. I am an avid gardener, a want to be chef, and home improvement TV junkie.
