About The Role

Are you an experienced Conference Producer with a passion for content-driven, intellectually engaging events? This is not a logistics or marketing role; it's a unique opportunity to focus on content research, agenda creation, and speaker recruitment for impactful conferences in the legal and business sectors.

Our client specializes in high-quality, content-heavy conferences—6–7 annually—that feature technical topic discussions with subject matter experts (SMEs) and audiences ranging from 150 to 1,500+ participants. If you're familiar with scaling up conferences, evaluating their commercial viability, and creating market-driven, innovative events, we’d love to hear from you.

Key Responsibilities

• Market Research: Conduct in-depth research to identify emerging trends, challenges, and opportunities for commercially viable conference topics.
• Agenda Creation: Develop comprehensive, intellectually engaging agendas with clear value propositions for attendees.
• Speaker Recruitment: Identify, approach, and secure thought leaders, keynote speakers, and panelists from relevant industries.
• Collaboration: Partner with marketing teams to create compelling promotional content.
• Event Execution: Oversee the end-to-end delivery of conferences, ensuring content quality and audience engagement.

Who We're Looking For

• Understand content-heavy conferences: Focus on delivering technical, topic-driven events rather than trade shows or exhibitions.
• Scale conferences effectively: Have experience producing multiple conferences per year with varying audience sizes.
• Evaluate commercial viability: Know what makes a conference profitable and valuable to its audience.

Experience & Skills

• 2–5+ years in conference production (business or legal sectors preferred).
• Strong research, critical thinking, and networking skills.
• Proven ability to build relationships with SMEs and senior stakeholders.
• Commercial acumen to develop profitable conference concepts.

Preferred Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree (JD or MBA preferred).
• Multilingual candidates (e.g., French, Spanish, or German) are a plus.
• Background in defense, aerospace, or technical industries is an advantage.

What’s On Offer

• Compensation: $75,000–$90,000 USD base + profit-sharing tied to event success.
• Flexibility: Fully remote position (Canada: Toronto preferred; USA: East Coast focus).
• Growth Opportunities: Join a market-leading organization with a focus on professional development and collaboration.
