Build the Events Executives Want to Attend
Corporate Learning Network (CLN), a division of IQPC, brings together senior Learning & Development, HR, and Talent Strategy leaders from some of the world's largest companies.
Through executive-level conferences, digital content, webinars, white papers, and networking experiences, we create forums where leaders exchange ideas, share strategies, and explore what's next in the world of workforce transformation.
Now, we're looking for a Conference Producer who wants to take ownership, move quickly, and play a major role in bringing these experiences to life.

The Role: As a Conference Producer, you'll own the content and speaker strategy for 4–6 conferences each year — from the initial concept all the way through the live event. You'll identify the topics executives care about, build compelling agendas, research and engage senior leaders, and secure VP, SVP, and C-level executives as speakers. This isn't a role where you'll simply manage an existing event. You'll help build it. You'll spend your time talking to executives, developing ideas, writing compelling content, managing multiple deadlines, and working cross-functionally to make sure every event delivers a great experience.

What You'll Do:

Own Your EventsOwn 4–6 conferences annually from concept through onsite execution
Develop conference themes, agendas, session topics, and content
Research emerging trends and identify topics that matter to senior executives
Build the Speaker Lineup
Identify and recruit VP, SVP, and C-level executives to participate as speakers
Conduct high-volume outreach through email, LinkedIn, phone, and other channels
Build relationships with senior-level executives and convert outreach into confirmed speakers
Manage the speaker pipeline and consistently hit monthly targets
Make It HappenManage event timelines, milestones, and deliverables
Coordinate closely with Sales, Marketing, Operations, and other internal teams
Own speaker communication from initial outreach through the onsite experience
Troubleshoot issues, keep projects moving, and make decisions when things change
Attend and help execute conferences onsite

What We're Looking For:

We're looking for someone who is driven, organized, confident, and comfortable taking ownership.
You don't necessarily need to come from a traditional conference production background. If you've successfully recruited, sold to, influenced, or closed senior stakeholders, your experience could translate extremely well.
You'll bring:2–5 years of experience in event production, conference management, recruiting, sales, or a related role
Demonstrated ability to engage and close senior-level stakeholders
Excellent written and verbal communication skills
Strong project management and organizational skills
The ability to manage multiple priorities and deadlines simultaneously
A proactive, resourceful approach — you see what needs to happen and make it happen
Persistence and confidence when reaching out to senior executives
A strong sense of ownership and accountability
Comfort working in a fast-moving, target-driven environment

What Success Looks Like: You'll know you're succeeding when:

You're consistently hitting speaker acquisition targets
Your events feature relevant, high-quality VP, SVP, and C-level speakers
Agendas are compelling, timely, and built around what executives actually want to discuss
Event milestones and deadlines stay on track
Speakers and internal teams have a clear, positive experience
You can walk into an event and see something you helped create come to life

Why Join CLN?Own Something RealYou won't be handed a small piece of an event and asked to manage it. You'll own your conferences from idea to execution. The speakers, the content, the agenda, and ultimately the experience — you'll have a direct impact on all of it. Work Directly With Top Executives You'll build relationships with VP, SVP, and C-level leaders from some of the world's largest companies.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
