About the Role

As Events Coordinator, you’ll be the engine room of our events team, providing vital administration and coordination across all aspects of planning and delivery. From liaising with exhibitors and suppliers, to managing exhibitor manuals, floor plans, and event activations, you’ll ensure every detail is in place to create seamless and professional events.

Working closely with our Senior Events team, you’ll also contribute to marketing, membership, AGHA Academy sessions, and surveys — gaining exposure to all sides of event operations and association management.
