Director of convention services jobs near me - 28 jobs

This is not an event logistics job. It's a build-the-vision, create-the-program, drive-the-industry role. A prominent association in the consumer-packaged goods space is for a senior, high-visibility leader to own the vision, content, and community strategy for our conferences and small events business, with a flagship event multiple new formats to launch in the years ahead. If you can spot where an industry is headed, craft a must-attend program around it, recruit speakers that make people sit up and listen, and rally internal teams around a clear plan - this role was built for you. If you mainly thrive in venue negotiations, timelines, and vendor coordination... this is not that job. What You'll Own You will be the "conductor of the orchestra," shaping the strategic direction and program that makes our events essential to the consumer packaged goods community - and ensuring they grow. 1) Event Strategy & Vision Build a deep understanding of what's happening in packaging right now - trends, challenges, opportunities, and what senior industry leaders care about. Define (and refine) the positioning, themes, and overall "why attend" narrative. Identify and experiment with new formats: summits, VIP dinners, trade show add-ons, councils, awards programs, webinars, and more. Set and drive multi-year goals for growth, profitability, and brand impact. 2) Content & Program Development Architect event programs that feel world-class, urgent, and valuable - not generic or "me too". Build tracks, themes, and session formats that deliver tangible outcomes and high engagement. Ensure events are built around what attendees actually need , not what's easiest to produce. 3) Speaker Strategy & Curation Own the end-to-end speaker strategy: targeting, outreach, vetting, and building a roster that makes people register. Attract speakers with real credibility - seniority, influence, strong storytelling ability, industry presence, and reach. Source experts and support speaker preparation so sessions land. 4) Community & Industry Leadership Be a visible thought leader and trusted voice in the packaging ecosystem. Engage regularly with senior brand-owner professionals to validate needs and concepts. Collect and translate audience insight into event decisions and potential community-based products (councils, paid communities, virtual series, awards, etc.). Who This Role Is For You're a great fit if you're someone who: ✅ can read an industry like a strategist and turn it into a program people pay attention to ✅ knows what great speakers and stories look like - and can recruit them ✅ can synthesize complex trends into compelling narratives ✅ is comfortable with high visibility and high accountability ✅ can work shoulder-to-shoulder with sales, marketing, editorial, and ops teams ✅ enjoys being "out in the ecosystem" and building real relationships Experience in the packaging ecosystem is a plus - brand owner, CPG, private label, contract manufacturing, OEM, supplier, or adjacent industries. Experience building membership communities, councils, or professional networks is a big plus. What This Role Is Not This role is not for someone who: 🚫 wants to focus mainly on logistics, vendor management, or event execution 🚫 doesn't like outreach, networking, and speaker recruitment 🚫 prefers to be behind the scenes rather than in a visible leadership role 🚫 is in a marketing or sales role in packaging who wants to move into events 🚫 needs tight direction rather than owning a charter Why This Is an Exceptional Opportunity You'll own a flagship event with a strong platform and industry reach You'll have real freedom to build new event formats and community products You'll work directly with the President in a high-trust role You'll shape a cornerstone of company's long-term growth strategy You'll build a personal reputation in an industry that values leaders who can convene people How to Stand Out If you apply, we'd love to see evidence that you've: built or shaped a B2B event program with strong attendance and engagement recruited high-impact speakers (and can show examples) created themes and tracks that reflect deep industry insight contributed to community-building initiatives (councils, memberships, networks, etc.) collaborated with sales/marketing on sponsorship stories and go-to-market narratives Competitive compensation and industry-leading benefits PMMI pays competitively and offers industry-leading benefits including health insurance, 401(k) matching plus a lucrative retirement plan that includes a generous profit share, and more!
