Conference Producer - B2B Events

Central London office - Hybrid Working + Travel

Salary around £35K-£40K (DOE) + Commission + Benefits

This is a role for someone bright, curious, and commercially switched on.

You will join a high-performing conference production team, responsible for creating market-leading events at the intersection of some of the most fast-moving and consequential topics shaping business and technology today.

You will own your conferences end to end: from researching the market and mapping the landscape, to building agendas that attract the most senior speakers in the industry and content that delegates genuinely cannot afford to miss.

As a Conference Producer, you will:

• Research your market deeply and develop genuine industry expertise across your portfolio
• Write compelling, commercially driven conference agendas that position each event as a must-attend
• Identify, approach, and secure senior-level speakers through confident, proactive telephone, email and LinkedIn outreach
• Build and maintain strong relationships with industry experts, practitioners, and thought leaders
• Collaborate with sponsorship and marketing teams to ensure content supports revenue targets
• Continually monitor industry trends, competitor activity, and audience intelligence to sharpen your programmes
• Take ownership of your events from initial concept through to live delivery onsite
• Overseas travel will be required

The right person for this role will be:

• Highly confident on the telephone, able to engage senior professionals at C-suite and Director level with conviction and credibility
• Commercially minded, with a genuine understanding of how content drives revenue in the events space
• Intellectually curious, able to get under the skin of a complex subject quickly and translate it into commercially relevant content
• An excellent written communicator, with a sharp eye for what makes an agenda compelling and a session title irresistible
• Tenacious and resilient, someone who treats a 'no' as the beginning of a conversation, not the end
• Highly organised, able to manage multiple projects, deadlines, and stakeholders simultaneously
• Genuinely enthusiastic about a career in the B2B events industry and everything it takes to produce a world-class conference

Your Experience

• Ideally, 12-24 months of experience in conference production; however, similar B2B publishing, journalism, research, or similar content-driven roles will be considered
• Evidence of proactive telephone-based outreach, whether in sales, research, or speaker acquisition
• A degree-level education or equivalent
• Experience working in or around fast-paced, agile, commercially driven and high-growth environments

What's on Offer?

• Work with a leader who will mentor and support your development as a producer and as a professional
• A collaborative, high-energy team that takes its work seriously without taking itself too seriously
• Clear progression into a senior producer role for those who deliver
• Competitive base salary with a commission structure that rewards strong performance
• Exposure to some of the most compelling and commercially significant themes in the global business landscape
