Who d’you know? 👀

I’m keen to connect with early-career professionals who’d be excited by a move into conference production. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone looking to build a career in the fast-paced world of B2B events and gain hands-on experience producing large-scale conferences.

Do you know someone with 1+ years of commercial experience who could be a great fit for an Assistant / Junior Conference Producer role? This is a role where ambition, curiosity, and a willingness to learn are just as important as previous experience.

Candidates don’t need direct production experience, but they do need:

  • Strong potential to grow into a top producer

  • A strong degree

  • A genuine interest in research, writing, and speaking with senior-level professionals

  • Curiosity, energy, and a great attitude

  • Super organised — able to produce high-quality work, meet deadlines, and perform well under pressure

This position is ideal for someone currently working in delegate sales, recruitment, market research, media, or another commercial role who is keen to transition into event production. It’s a chance to step into a role that combines creativity, organisation, and client-facing experience, all within a supportive, collaborative environment.

The role is London-based with hybrid working, offering flexibility while ensuring you gain hands-on experience at the heart of a busy events business. The salary is c.£28k, with opportunities to grow as you gain experience and develop your skills within production.

In addition to working on exciting projects and contributing to high-profile events, this role provides the chance to develop a deep understanding of the events industry, including sponsorship, client management, and operational delivery. You’ll have exposure to senior-level professionals, helping you build a strong network and accelerate your career development.

If you know someone who fits this profile or would thrive in a role like this, I’d love for you to share this opportunity with them. It’s a great chance to join an early-career programme that offers learning, growth, and the chance to make a real impact in a fast-moving industry.

📍 Location: London
🏡 Hybrid working
💷 Salary: Up to £28k
