About Us
Business Show Media produces some of the world’s largest and fastest-growing business exhibitions, connecting entrepreneurs, SMEs, and senior decision-makers with the ideas, tools, and networks they need to scale.
Our flagship events run globally across London, Las Vegas, Miami, Sydney, and Singapore, and we continue to expand internationally. We are known for developing high-performing commercial talent into event managers, senior leaders, and directors within the business.
About The Role
This is an entry-level sales role designed as the starting point of a long-term commercial career. We are looking to recruit for our UK and US teams, both Bristol based initially, so it depends on individual preferences of shift patterns.
You’ll begin in business development, learning how international exhibitions are built, sold, and delivered. As you perform, you’ll progress into event management, senior sales roles, and ultimately leadership or directorship positions.
This is not a short-term sales job, it’s a career pathway into the global events industry.
No previous sales experience is required. Full training is provided from day one.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Researching and identifying potential exhibitors and sponsors
- Speaking with business owners and senior decision-makers via phone, email, and LinkedIn
