Job Description

Exhibition and conference managers plan and co-ordinate events such as exhibitions, trade shows and conferences. These can range from major events such as the Ideal Home Exhibition, the Chelsea Flower Show or party political conferences to smaller local or regional events.

As an exhibition manager, you can work for event management companies, exhibition or conference venues, or as a freelance organiser. The work is generally split into three areas, and it is possible to work in any or all of the following:

1) Marketing - researching the level of interest in a specific event, and finding suitable venues and dates to hold it. You then deal with the organisation of publicity, design and printing of tickets, posters and promotional items to advertise the event.

2) Sales - selling stand space to exhibitors by telephone or face-to-face and arranging sponsorship. During an exhibition, sales staff may contact all the exhibitors to try to sell space for future events.

3) Operations - co-ordinating all the practical aspects, from planning timetables and booking venues to supervising contractors such as exhibition designers, stand suppliers, audio-visual production companies and caterers. During the event, operations staff work closely with venue staff, dealing with enquiries from exhibitors, speakers, sponsors and visitors/delegates. You will also supervise health and safety issues and ensure the venue is cleared safely.
