Consider content licensing and management. Content is where the money is and there are so many ways that is leveraged. Events are an offshoot of the business.

How do you pivot? By clarifying the type of work in this industry that lights you up. The work that aligns with where you are at this stage in your professional journey. You might be ready to level up and apply your knowledge and skills in a new way. For example, by consulting on putting together these events. Or perhaps it's managing some other area that is in some way related. These are just ideas but before you pivot, it's important for you to know what you want to do so you can then showcase your experience on your resume and LinkedIn in way that tells the story of why you would be exceptional in this new role. There are a few of us out there (myself included) that help professionals determine next steps in their career and then make that pivot. Most of us offer complimentary calls to discuss your situation further. I'd be happy to chat with you, if you'd like that.
