Lauren Bruner

I’m an education, learning operations, and program management professional with 10+ years of experience spanning K-12 education, professional learning, training operations, conference and event management, and cross-functional program delivery. I currently serve as an Operations Manager for Educational Services at Travel Leaders Network, where I manage complex learning programs, supplier training, webinars, and large-scale conference education.

In my current role, I oversee the planning and execution of hundreds of workshops and supplier sessions, as well as educational programming for EDGE, our largest international conference. I coordinate presenters, suppliers, internal stakeholders, timelines, communications, technology, logistics, attendance tracking, evaluations, and post-event reporting. I also manage our monthly for-fee supplier webinar series and coordinate company-wide supplier and product training.

A major strength of mine is creating structure and scalable processes. I manage enrollment and graduate tracking for seven certification programs, oversee learning resources in Absorb LMS, and use Salesforce and Excel for reporting and data management. I’ve developed workflows that centralized previously fragmented information, improved accountability and follow-up, and helped ensure we have not missed a single graduate for annual conference recognition.

My earlier career as a Spanish teacher and curriculum developer gives me a strong foundation in instructional design, facilitation, curriculum development, and creating engaging learning experiences. I also have experience with Articulate Storyline 360, Zoom, PowerPoint, Google Workspace, Adobe Acrobat, Salesforce, and other learning and business technologies.

I’m particularly interested in remote opportunities in Learning & Development, Learning Operations, Program Management, Professional Learning, Training, Customer/Partner Enablement, Education Operations, and Conference/Event Management. I’m looking for a role where I can combine my strengths in education, technology, project management, event execution, process improvement, and stakeholder collaboration while continuing to grow into a strategic leadership role.
