Conference Producer – New York

Industry: B2B Events / Financial Services / Private Markets
Employment Type: Full-time

DNA Recruit is working with a leading global business intelligence and events organisation to recruit an experienced Conference Producer to join its growing US events team in New York. This is an exciting opportunity to take ownership of a portfolio of high-profile B2B conferences, primarily across North America, bringing together senior executives, investors and industry leaders from across the financial services and private markets sectors.

With an established international presence and ambitious plans for growth, the business offers the opportunity to play a key role in shaping its conference portfolio, developing compelling content, building relationships with influential speakers and identifying opportunities to launch new events. You'll have genuine ownership of your events, working closely with editorial, commercial, marketing and operations teams to deliver commercially successful conferences that provide real value to their audiences.

Key Responsibilities

• Take full ownership of a portfolio of US-based conferences, managing the production process from initial research and content development through to onsite delivery.
• Research industry trends, emerging investment themes and market developments to create engaging, commercially relevant conference programmes.
• Develop compelling agendas featuring insightful discussions, innovative session formats and topics that resonate with senior financial professionals.
• Identify, approach and secure high-profile speakers, including C-suite executives, investors and leading industry experts.
• Build and maintain strong relationships with speakers, industry stakeholders and senior decision-makers.
• Collaborate with editorial teams to ensure conference content reflects the latest market intelligence and industry developments.
• Work closely with business development teams to identify sponsorship opportunities, support commercial objectives and ensure sponsor commitments are delivered.
• Partner with marketing and delegate sales teams to develop compelling event messaging, highlight key speakers and drive audience engagement.
• Coordinate with internal event operations teams to ensure seamless delivery, including venue requirements, AV, registration and onsite logistics.
• Identify opportunities to grow existing conferences and develop new events within the portfolio.
• Support the development of an associated senior finance professional network, contributing to membership strategy and engagement initiatives.

We're looking for a commercially minded Conference Producer who enjoys researching complex markets, developing engaging content and building relationships with senior industry professionals.

You'll ideally bring:

• At least 3 years' experience in commercial conference production or a related commercial environment.
• A minimum of 3 years' experience recruiting speakers for conferences or professional events.
• Proven experience developing conference agendas, researching markets and securing senior-level speakers.
• Strong communication and relationship-building skills, with the confidence to engage C-suite executives and industry leaders.
• A commercial mindset and an understanding of how conference content contributes to delegate attendance, sponsorship and event profitability.
• Excellent organisational and project management skills, with the ability to manage multiple events and competing deadlines.
• A proactive, independent approach and the ambition to take ownership of your portfolio.
• A bachelor's degree.

Experience producing conferences within financial services, private equity, investment or private markets would be particularly advantageous, although this is not essential.

This is an opportunity to join an established international organisation with a strong reputation across specialist financial markets and a growing global events business.

You'll benefit from:

• Ownership of an established portfolio of high-profile conferences.
• The opportunity to work directly with influential business leaders, investors and C-suite executives.
• Exposure to international markets and a global network of industry professionals.
• The chance to shape conference strategy, develop new event concepts and contribute directly to business growth.
• A collaborative environment working alongside experienced editorial, commercial and events professionals.
• Opportunities for career development within an ambitious, growing international business.
• A supportive organisation that values flexibility, inclusion and professional development.
