In the words of Inc. Magazine, “Web Summit is the largest technology conference in the world”. Forbes says Web Summit is “the best tech conference on the planet”, Bloomberg calls it “Davos for geeks”, Politico “the Olympics of tech”, and the Guardian “Glastonbury for geeks”. Whatever Web Summit is, it wouldn’t be possible without an incredible team of more than 240 employees, including world-class engineers, data scientists, designers, producers, marketers, salespeople and more.

We’ve disrupted an old industry by building incredible software and designing mind-blowing events. We’ve revolutionised how people come together in our world. We started with one event: Web Summit.

• Offstage, you’ll curate the highest-level experiences for the most influential speakers.
• You’ll work closely with our international Speaker team including Key attendee success, where you will collaborate and coordinate to produce best in class events.

Skills and abilities we’re looking for:

• Contacts - You can acquire and maintain high-level contacts across multiple sectors.
• Persuasive - You believe in something and can make others believe in it too.
• Sharp editorial sense - You can spot a trend or story before others.
• Industry Knowledge - You understand and can give examples of how technology is trending around the world and you have a working knowledge of the Tech industry.
