About the Role

Cornelis Networks is seeking an Experiences and Events Manager to own the company's presence at industry events, trade shows, and executive gatherings. This hands-on role involves strategy and execution, from building the event calendar and setting booth strategy to managing vendors, budgets, and on-site operations. The position suits an individual with prior B2B tech event logistics experience who desires greater strategic ownership and can transform conferences into pipeline and brand assets within a fast-paced team.

Responsibilities

Own the company's event calendar and prioritize investment across anchor industry events and adjacent regional or vertical shows.
Coordinate post-event nurture with marketing and SDR team to ensure timely lead follow-up and development.
Define the presence strategy for each event: booth size and format, staffing plan, sponsorship tier, and clear objectives tied to pipeline and brand goals.
Build and manage event budgets, and negotiate with vendors covering booth design and build, AV, giveaways, printing, and travel.
Partner with the CMO and product marketing to shape messaging, demo flow, and booth narrative for each event's audience.
Manage pre-event logistics end to end: booth design and build, giveaways, shipping, badges, staffing schedules, and briefing materials for booth staff.
Represent Cornelis on-site, running execution and solving problems in real time as they come up.
Assist in coordinating executive and customer meetings, press and analyst briefings, and speaking sessions tied to the event.
Own lead capture on-site and ensure every lead flows cleanly into the CRM and the follow-up workflow.
Track budgets, deliverables, and timelines across several concurrent events without losing detail.
Write post-event recap reports covering lead volume, lead quality, spend, and ROI, with clear recommendations for the next event.
Build and maintain a playbook of what worked and what didn't, so each event improves on the last.
Work with sales leadership to align booth staffing, meeting scheduling, and lead follow-up with pipeline goals.
Partner with product marketing on the content and demo requirements specific to each event's audience.
Coordinate with the content team on recap articles, on-site social coverage, and photo and video assets for post-event promotion.

Requirements

3 to 5 years of experience in event marketing, field marketing, or account and program management, including direct experience planning and executing trade show or conference presence for a B2B technology company.
A track record of managing on-site logistics for events ranging from small receptions to large conference booths, including vendor coordination, budget management, and staffing.
Strong program management instincts; ability to own several concurrent timelines, budgets, and deliverables without dropping details.
Strong writing and communication skills, with experience producing recap content, briefing documents, or campaign materials.
Comfort operating in a fast-paced startup environment with high autonomy and direct access to executive leadership.
Willingness to travel domestically, and occasionally internationally, for events.
Experience working with CRM and lead capture tools to track and report on event-sourced pipeline.
