About you

You will be naturally curious and genuinely interested in learning about industries, businesses, technology and people.

You do not need to arrive as an expert in packaging or agentic AI. However, you must be motivated to become knowledgeable about both and capable of building credibility with the professionals working in these industries.

You will enjoy researching complex subjects, asking thoughtful questions and communicating what you learn clearly. You should be comfortable speaking with senior professionals and enthusiastic about developing your confidence as a live conference host.

Because Prime Events Group has further trade show launches in the pipeline, you must also enjoy learning about new markets and be comfortable moving between different industries and subject areas.
