Emily Barker

SALES Director Ideas Conferences

With 30-plus years of experience, Emily has worked for companies in the telecom, agricultural chemical, and financial sectors. She has extensive experience in marketing and planning events for non-profit/fundraising and the corporate sector, both domestically and internationally. She has experience in events of all sizes – from small lunch & learns, networking events, fundraisers, webinars, and trade shows to very large in-person and virtual events with presentations and one-on-one meetings. 

In her free time, she is a sci-fi nerd, foodie, and avid Broadway theatre attendee. Emily also loves to travel and experience new cultures. 

Since venturing off to college at NMSU where she majored in Public Relations, her diverse marketing career has allowed her to visit 41 states and 8 countries and live in 5 states. Three years ago, Emily relocated with her 15-year-old rescue dog, Dobby, from Manhattan to the Jersey Shore. She has discovered the joys of beach living but still visits the city often. She is a proud mother of two successful adult children that live in other parts of the country.
