Jessica Lotito, CMP

Conference Planner

Jessica has been with IEEE since 2005 and joined EMBS in 2011.  In January 2009, she earned her Certified Meeting Professional (CMP) designation, a premier industry certification.

Jessica received her A.S. in Travel and Tourism Management in 1998, and her B.S. in Hospitality Management in 2000, both from Johnson & Wales University. Upon graduation Jessica started off her career in the hotel industry, which gave her an insider’s perspective when negotiating contracts with hotels and developing the conference program.  

Since joining IEEE, Jessica has worked on domestic and international conferences with attendance ranging in size from 200 to 10,000 attendees.  While at work, Jessica will also be doing whatever Laura requests, otherwise she is told what to do by her very active, love of her life, 4 year old son Joshua.
