Job description

International events, influential media and a role with two complementary missions.

International trade shows, exhibition stands, Travolution conferences, award ceremonies and networking events: at Eventiz, our projects bring together the decision-makers shaping the future of tourism and travel tech.

Eventiz is a media and B2B event group, part of the Travelsoft Group, specialising in the creation and production of professional events for the tourism industry and the travel tech ecosystem. We design and deliver high-value formats, from international trade shows and exhibition stands to conferences, award ceremonies and corporate events.

To support our growth, we are looking for an experienced International Event Manager based in Paris. This is a hybrid role with two equally important dimensions: 50% event production linked to Travelsoft Group’s participation in international B2B tourism trade shows, and 50% marketing for Travolution, our English- and French-language B2B media specialising in travel tech.

You will be responsible for managing international event projects from brief to on-site delivery, while also helping grow the audiences of Travolution events and supporting the media’s day-to-day social media communication, including the promotion and republication of editorial content.
