The Opportunity
An established international B2B events business is looking for a Senior Conference Producer to join its growing Defence & Security division.
This is an exciting opportunity to play a leading role in developing high-profile conferences and large-scale industry events that bring together senior decision-makers from government, military organisations and the private sector.
Working closely with the Head of Content, you'll be responsible for researching emerging trends, developing commercially successful conference programmes and securing influential speakers from across the defence landscape.

Key Responsibilities
- Research market trends, industry developments and emerging topics to identify commercially valuable conference themes.
- Design engaging conference agendas across multiple content streams.
- Source, recruit and manage relationships with senior speakers, industry experts and key stakeholders.
- Build long-term partnerships with organisations across government, defence, industry and associated sectors.
- Manage conference production timelines from concept through to event delivery.
- Work collaboratively with sales, marketing, sponsorship and operations teams to maximise commercial success.
- Produce compelling marketing copy and promotional content to support delegate acquisition.
- Continuously introduce new ideas and innovative content formats to enhance attendee engagement.
- Support the development of year-round content initiatives and industry communities.
