It may be helpful if you repeat the specific question you're asking. Right now from your email I don't know what your question is other than asking what the "strategy for conferences" is, which is so open and vague as to be basically unanswerable. I think you have perhaps made your question

hello Pine, Did you have a look at the events team manager job description? It is an open position, so there is currently nobody at the wmf to answer your question. For me the concept of 'event' is broader than the range of conferences you described. Would you consider yourself as a candidate for

Hello, My request from September has gone unanswered, so I am trying again. I don't think that there is a single point of contact for conference funding and strategy at WMF, but I think that there should be, and perhaps the lack of such a person is why there hasn't been a response to this email.
