If yes, this could be the ideal role for you!
The Client:
Based out of their London office, this business is known across the UK and the rest of the world, they’ve organised exhibitions, summits and conferences for almost two decades. With that in mind, they certainly know what they’re doing and have won plenty of awards during their time!
They specialise in arranging pre-qualified 1-2-1 style meetings between c-suite executives and buyers and sellers. They also host conferences to discuss key industry topics with these high-level individuals across a wide variety of industries.
