Requirements

What you’ll need

Likely 3–7 years of experience in conference servicing, field marketing, experiential programs, or events at a tech company or creative agency.
Strong operations chops. You can project manage many events at once with hundreds of moving parts and not drop the ball.
You can build a relationship with anyone – especially the people hosting events, to unlock the best slots, partnerships, and venues.
Great taste and creative instinct. A booth, a dinner, swag, a follow-up email – you care how things look and feel, and you can invent the activation, not just execute it.
You evaluate spend honestly. Not every event is worth it. You can tell the difference and make the call to cut what isn't working.
You operate autonomously. You don't need someone telling you which conferences to consider or which vendors to call.
You're up to travel up to 2x a month (primarily within the US).
You're actively using AI tools in your workflows.
Bonus: guerrilla marketing creativity, consumer insights experience, extensive travel experience.
