Industry Engagement: Plan revenue streams, draft compelling proposals and concept notes, and organize targeted industry meets to build early momentum.
Launch Readiness: Prepare the foundational groundwork required for a successful Edition 1 launch.
End-to-End Ownership: Take complete charge of the execution and successful delivery of both tradeshows from start to finish.
Team Leadership: Direct, mentor, and manage a high-performing operations team, including Project Managers (PMs) and the Sales Manager.
Commercial & Delivery Excellence: Oversee floor planning, pricing strategies, exhibitor sales, and overall event P&L to meet organizational targets.
Job Requirements:
Proven experience leading a B2B tradeshow end-to-end (from initial concept to final execution).
Deep understanding of the commercial side of exhibitions (floor plans, space pricing models, and exhibitor sales strategies).
Solid team management experience, with the ability to lead PMs and sales teams effectively.
Prior experience working on co-produced, partnership-driven, or association-led shows.
Experience collaborating with international organizers or global partners.
