Do you love crafting exceptional event experiences? Enjoy working behind the scenes to ensure every detail runs smoothly? Looking to work with a team that values quality, structure, and purpose?
We’re ADAPT — Australia’s leading tech-focused research, advisory and events company — and we’re looking for an organised and proactive Event Manager to help us deliver premium, meaningful experiences for senior executives and global thought leaders.

ABOUT THE ROLE

As our Event Manager, you’ll work closely with our Director of Event Operations and wider team to support the planning and delivery of ADAPT’s industry-leading executive conferences and private roundtables.
These include our flagship Edge Events — full-day gatherings of Australia’s most senior tech and business leaders — as well as curated, invitation-only digital and in-person sessions. You’ll contribute across the full lifecycle of each event: from preparation and coordination to seamless execution onsite.
This role is ideal for someone who takes pride in delivering polished, high-quality work, enjoys working collaboratively, and thrives in environments where process, attention to detail, and meaningful outcomes matter.

• Manage the planning, coordination and delivery of ADAPT’s premium executive conferences
• Act as the primary event operations power-user for ADAPT’s custom event platform (Edge+)
• Be the onsite lead for events – proactively coordinating staff and responding to changes as needed
• Manage onsite event delivery including bump-in, setup, registration, guest experience, and bump-out
• Contribute to testing and new feature development of ADAPT’s proprietary event management platform and mobile app (Edge+)
• Ensure every detail is buttoned up — from collateral and badges to briefing documents and bump-in guides
• Research and coordinate venues and suppliers for custom private events
• Support the delivery of digital events and physical roundtable events as required
• Support the event delivery of marketing and sales activities to help promote ADAPT’s services
• Contribute to internal company event activities like team outings and end of year celebrations
