Can You Become a Virtual Show Manager?

by Leesa Barnes on June 2, 2009

Managing virtual events can become a full-time job. Just ask any of my students in the Virtual Event Marketing Blueprint program. Yet, if done well, you can make a lucrative career in managing multi speaker, multi occurrence virutal events.

I found a job posting for a Virtual Show Manager. There’s also a job listing for a Virtual Show Support. Intrigued, I read the requirements. Both are part-time positions, however, the duties are similar to that of a full-time job. You’ll be reporting to the Virtual Show Program Manager and here are the job duties of the Virtual Show Manager:

  • Create and manage project timelines; ensure deliverables and milestones are met and act as primary client point-of-contact for all project related issues.
  • Provide documentation and training for show organizers, exhibitors, sponsors, and speakers.
  • Manage interactions with 3rd party vendors.
  • Oversee the production of audio / video assets.
  • Provide quality assurance for all show elements.
  • Manage the live event day(s) efforts including support for live webcasts, exhibitor booths, and direct customer support for all show related product and service elements.
  • Provide post-event support and consulting.

As more and more companies host virtual events, there will definitely be more job postings like this.
