The role
If you want real responsibility, control of a budget from your first day and the opportunity to develop your career quickly, we want to see your application.
Established in 1990 as FCBI, Reuters Events was acquired by Reuters in 2019. They deliver world-class conferences and content across the globe, and work with industry leaders and visionaries to provide the critical intelligence senior level executives need to make strategic decisions.
They are currently recruiting for Conference Producers in the following sectors:
- Pharma
- Sustainability
- Insurance
- Supply Chain
- Energy
Amongst many others!
What will you be doing?
As a Conference Producer, you will:
- Have overall responsibility for the commercial success of major industry conferences including hitting revenue and attendance targets and setting sales strategy for the entire project
- You will be researching markets, understanding hot business issues, developing conference agendas, and conducting high profile marketing campaigns
- To be absolutely clear, you will be a conference creator not a conference organiser! You won’t be answerable to a client, organising coffee or booking space at hotels
To be a Conference Producer, you will likely:
- Be commercially driven first and foremost – you should understand the commercial drivers behind our customers decisions, as our job is to help them make smarter ones!
- An interest in business is a must, as is an entrepreneurial spirit, a readiness to take responsibility for your work and, of course, great communication skills
- Thrive in a fast-paced, collaborative, high-growth environment and work well in a team as well as being a self-starter
- No need to have experience in conferences. We look for people who have done interesting things with their time – and who can grow and develop – rather than those who just have good qualifications
- Be someone with the ability to identify new and interesting business trends coupled with the drive to develop great events that senior business people can’t afford to miss
- Communication and research and analytical skills are essential, along with an entrepreneurial flair and a target-driven mindset
