In September 2023, we were certified as a "great place to work" from GreatPlaceToWork.com for the 2nd year running!

Does this sound like you?

We are looking for a motivated and client-facing candidate with proven success within the exhibition event industry. The successful candidate is expected to build stronger relationships with our customers and provide solutions to their queries about our events.

The ideal candidate will have excellent communication and problem-solving skills, be a team player, and have the ability to organize their time to manage multiple projects.

The Opportunity:

Clarion's Digital Marketing Division is the home of two market-leading brands Traffic & Conversion Summit & Affiliate Summit.

Affiliate Summit runs the biggest affiliate marketing events in the world, and attracts thousands of advertisers, networks, agencies and affiliates from the US and across the globe.

Traffic & Conversion Summit is the biggest independent digital marketing conference in North America, we have a mind-blowing pedigree of speakers including Richard Branson and Arnold Schwarzenegger.

We don't run your typical conference, so if you're looking for a bunch of guys in grey suits, we might not be for you. We bring together SMEs, bloggers, Instagram influencers and the world's largest eCommerce brands.

Our Vegas show sells out every year as you have probably seen EVERYBODY (including your granny) is now shopping online.

The pandemic changed EVERYTHING. But as hard as this year has been, it has forced the digital marketing industry (and that includes us!) to pivot and innovate in ways we've never seen before. We're at a really exciting time of transformation in our business as we launch new content for the industry, and ultimately become even more customer obsessed than ever before.

Clarion Events and the Digital Marketing portfolio embrace diversity and equal opportunity in a serious way. We are committed to building a team that represents a variety of backgrounds, perspectives, and skills. The more inclusive we are, the better our work will be.
