Regional Head of Events, US

About The Role

Our

Events business is in the middle of a strategic transformation. We are moving

from a legacy model of standalone events to an interconnected portfolio of

converged and co-located conferences, known as Fewer, Bigger, Better (FBB), to

improve the member experience and create proprietary flows of data from our

customers.

We have

created the new role of Regional Head of Events (RHE) to lead this change in

the US. Reporting to the Global Head of Events, you will manage the in-region

Associate Directors (ADs) and producers, own the regional events strategy and

report on the consolidated performance of US events. You will work in person

with regional teams as much as practical and collaborate closely with teams

across PEI.

Success

in your first year means consolidating US events into the 2027 calendar with

stronger commercial results over fewer event days, mapping regional

opportunities with ADs and producers, and shaping the three-year plan for our

events and communities business. Where you bring one, you will also keep a

global event portfolio in the first instance.

Responsibilities:

• Implement a strategy for

fewer, larger, more impactful events, aligned with ARR, FBB and marketing

goals.

• Set, monitor and report event

objectives and KPIs that drive the commercial goals of regional

portfolios.

• Build and lead a

high-performing regional team of producers with deep sector expertise and

standardized logistics, working closely with ADs and regional heads of

members and sponsors, and is mapped against regional competitor events.

• Identify regional target

audiences and tailor event content and experiences with ADs to drive new

business and member satisfaction.

• Foster a culture of

innovation to continually improve events and drive growth.

• Produce and develop an event

portfolio as determined by the business.
