Job description

Conference Producer- Corporate Learning Network (CLN)

Location: Hybrid — 1–2 days/week in our Midtown Manhattan office

Schedule: Monday–Friday, 9:00 AM–5:00 PM

Employment: Full-time, permanent

Location Requirement: Must reside in NY, NJ, or CT

Build the Events Executives Want to Attend

Corporate Learning Network (CLN), a division of IQPC, brings together senior Learning & Development, HR, and Talent Strategy leaders from some of the world's largest companies.

Through executive-level conferences, digital content, webinars, white papers, and networking experiences, we create forums where leaders exchange ideas, share strategies, and explore what's next in the world of workforce transformation.

Now, we're looking for a Conference Producer who wants to take ownership, move quickly, and play a major role in bringing these experiences to life.

The Role

As a Conference Producer, you'll own the content and speaker strategy for 4–6 conferences each year — from the initial concept all the way through the live event.

You'll identify the topics executives care about, build compelling agendas, research and engage senior leaders, and secure VP, SVP, and C-level executives as speakers.

This isn't a role where you'll simply manage an existing event.

You'll help build it.

You'll spend your time talking to executives, developing ideas, writing compelling content, managing multiple deadlines, and working cross-functionally to make sure every event delivers a great experience.

What You'll Do

Own Your Events

• Own 4–6 conferences annually from concept through onsite execution
• Develop conference themes, agendas, session topics, and content
• Research emerging trends and identify topics that matter to senior executives

Build the Speaker Lineup

• Identify and recruit VP, SVP, and C-level executives to participate as speakers
• Conduct high-volume outreach through email, LinkedIn, phone, and other channels
• Build relationships with senior-level executives and convert outreach into confirmed speakers
• Manage the speaker pipeline and consistently hit monthly targets

Make It Happen

• Manage event timelines, milestones, and deliverables
• Coordinate closely with Sales, Marketing, Operations, and other internal teams
• Own speaker communication from initial outreach through the onsite experience
• Troubleshoot issues, keep projects moving, and make decisions when things change
• Attend and help execute conferences onsite

What We're Looking For

We're looking for someone who is driven, organized, confident, and comfortable taking ownership.

You don't necessarily need to come from a traditional conference production background. If you've successfully recruited, sold to, influenced, or closed senior stakeholders, your experience could translate extremely well.

You'll bring:

• 2–5 years of experience in event production, conference management, recruiting, sales, or a related role
• Demonstrated ability to engage and close senior-level stakeholders
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• Strong project management and organizational skills
• The ability to manage multiple priorities and deadlines simultaneously
• A proactive, resourceful approach — you see what needs to happen and make it happen
• Persistence and confidence when reaching out to senior executives
• A strong sense of ownership and accountability
• Comfort working in a fast-moving, target-driven environment

What Success Looks Like

You’ll know you’re succeeding when:

• You're consistently hitting speaker acquisition targets
• Your events feature relevant, high-quality VP, SVP, and C-level speakers
• Agendas are compelling, timely, and built around what executives actually want to discuss
• Event milestones and deadlines stay on track
• Speakers and internal teams have a clear, positive experience
• You can walk into an event and see something you helped create come to life

Why Join CLN?

Own Something Real

You won't be handed a small piece of an event and asked to manage it. You'll own your conferences from idea to execution. The speakers, the content, the agenda, and ultimately the experience — you'll have a direct impact on all of it.

Work Directly With Top Executives

You'll build relationships with VP, SVP, and C-level leaders from some of the world's largest companies. It's an opportunity to develop a network that can stay with you throughout your career.

See Your Work Come to Life

There aren't months of waiting to see the impact of your work. You develop the content, secure the speakers, build the agenda — and then see it all come together on stage.

Develop High-Value Skills

This role combines executive communication, relationship building, research, writing, negotiation, project management, and event execution. You’ll build a skill set that can take your career in multiple directions.

We set clear goals, measure results, and give people the opportunity to make an impact. If you're someone who likes having ownership and seeing a direct connection between your effort and your results, you'll thrive here.

Be Part of a Proven Business

CLN is part of IQPC, an established global events business with a proven track record of producing executive-level conferences and delivering high-quality experiences for business leaders.

Ready to Build Something?

If you're ambitious, organized, naturally curious, and energized by the idea of getting senior executives to say "yes" — we'd love to hear from you.

Bring the ideas. Build the relationships. Own the event.
