Event Manager (f/m/d)

You want to plan events yourself and run them on site, from the first idea to the last guest? With us you own events and trade fair appearances for IONOS and our brands, from our own IONOS Summit to major international fairs. AI is your standard tool, so there is more time for details.

Tasks

• You design events and trade fair appearances for our brands and deliver them independently: from the briefing and stand concept to follow-up.
• You handle the operational planning of your events: you find suitable venues, create timelines and run-of-show plans and coordinate all trades involved, keeping an eye on costs throughout.
• You lead your events on site, from build-up and live operation to dismantling, and are the first point of contact for the team, service providers and guests.
• You manage our service providers: you obtain quotes and negotiate terms with venues and trade fair organisers.
• You develop the target group and lead strategy for each event together with Sales, ensure clean lead capture on site and report on the results.
• You use AI tools and automations, e.g. for briefings, run-of-show plans and reporting, so our processes become more efficient with every event.
