Based on Erin Putnam's skills and experience in event management, meeting planning, and marketing, I estimate her hourly rate to be around $100. This is a conservative estimate, considering her expertise in the pharmaceutical industry, a specialized field. Average event management salaries in the US range from $40,000 to $70,000 per year, but this does not account for her marketing and corporate events experience. Given her skills and industry focus, I believe she could command a higher rate, potentially upwards of $150 per hour. However, without more specific information on her experience and qualifications, I've rounded down to $100 per hour.
