ABOUT ZEALVERSE™ ZEALVERSE™ is a research-led B2B conference and executive engagement platform built around a simple philosophy: Content Before Conference. We develop focused industry conversations across AI, cybersecurity, data, cloud and other technologies moving into real enterprise adoption across India, the GCC, MEA and APAC. THE OPPORTUNITY We are expanding our network of experienced freelance Conference Producers to work with ZEALVERSE™ on a project-by-project basis. Each engagement will involve ownership of the conference content cycle for an assigned event, from market research and agenda development through speaker acquisition and programme readiness. This is not a permanent salaried position but will be depending on the delivery. Producers will be engaged for specific projects, and the project fee will be agreed separately for each assignment based on the scope, complexity, market, timeline and level of ownership required.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
• Conduct detailed market, industry and competitor research to identify the most relevant issues, trends and executive priorities for the assigned conference.
• Develop a differentiated conference theme, agenda structure, session topics and discussion angles aligned with ZEALVERSE™ positioning and the target audience.
• Research, identify and prioritise credible senior speakers from relevant end-user organisations, enterprises, government bodies and industry stakeholders.
• Own speaker outreach, follow-ups, qualification, confirmation and relationship management through to final programme readiness.
• Work closely with confirmed speakers to refine session direction, titles, talking points and panel composition where required.
• Maintain accurate speaker trackers, status updates, research notes and production timelines throughout the assignment.
• Coordinate speaker briefing, biographies,
headshots, presentation requirements and other programme deliverables before the event.
• Support the commercial and marketing teams with accurate content intelligence, speaker developments and programme updates required for sales and promotion.
• Where agreed within the project scope, support onsite conference production, speaker management and live programme delivery. WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR
• Proven experience producing B2B conferences, executive summits, forums or similar senior-level business events.
• Strong market research and agenda development capability; able to move beyond generic topics and identify what senior executives genuinely need to discuss.
• Demonstrated experience approaching and securing senior corporate speakers, ideally at C-suite, VP, Director or functional-head level.
• Excellent written and verbal communication, follow-up discipline and stakeholder management skills.
• Comfort working independently, owning deadlines and managing multiple speaker conversations at different stages.
• Strong understanding of technology, enterprise transformation or adjacent B2B sectors is highly desirable.
• Experience across India, GCC, MEA or APAC markets will be an advantage. ENGAGEMENT & PROJECT FEE
• This prospect is strictly project-based. A freelance Conference Producer may be engaged for one conference or for multiple projects depending on performance, availability and ZEALVERSE™ requirements.
• There is no fixed monthly salary or employment commitment attached to this freelance opportunity.
• The fee will be agreed separately for each project before work begins. The amount will depend on the agreed scope, conference size, research depth, speaker target, geography, delivery timeline, onsite requirement and overall level of ownership.
• The agreed project fee and payment milestones will be confirmed in writing for each assignment.
• Any pre-approved travel, accommodation or onsite expenses required for a specific project will be addressed separately in the relevant project terms. DELIVERABLE EXPECTATIONS Specific deliverables will vary by conference and will be confirmed in the project brief. They may include:
• market and competitor research;
• conference positioning and content direction;
• complete agenda development;
• speaker target list and research;
• speaker outreach and confirmations;
• speaker briefing and programme coordination;
• regular production status reporting; and
• final programme handover and/or onsite production support, where agreed. HOW WE WORK ZEALVERSE™ expects producers to take genuine ownership of the assigned content project. We value strong research, commercially relevant agendas, credible speakers, timely communication and the judgement to challenge weak or repetitive conference ideas. The objective is not to fill agenda slots; it is to build a programme senior executives consider worth their time. APPLICATION Experienced freelance Conference Producers who are comfortable taking end-to-end content ownership are invited to share a brief profile or CV, examples of conferences previously produced, markets covered and current project availability.
