You will work directly with the Founder and become one of the earliest members of the team, helping shape the future direction of the business.
Key Responsibilities

- Research enterprise AI, data, and emerging technology markets to identify trends and commercially valuable content.
- Develop compelling conference themes, agendas, and session formats.
- Identify opportunities to launch new conferences, executive dinners, and industry reports.
