The commercial side of events
Event sales jobs combine commercial drive with a genuine understanding of events, and they often come with some of the best earning potential in the industry. Whether you're selling exhibition space, sponsorship packages, venue hire or delegate places, the role rewards people who can build relationships and hit targets while understanding what makes an event valuable to a client.
On EventJobs you'll find event sales roles across venues, conference and exhibition organisers, and agencies. Because the board is dedicated to events, the sales jobs here are all industry-specific, so your experience translates directly and you're not sifting through unrelated sales listings. Roles range from executive to senior and business development level, with commission structures that reward performance. New event sales jobs are posted regularly, so it pays to check back and set up alerts.
Venue sales roles often sit close to delivery — see event manager jobs and event coordinator jobs — while the demand-generation side is covered by marketing and event jobs.
Questions, answered
- What do event sales jobs involve?
- Selling the commercial side of an event or venue: exhibition space and sponsorship packages for organisers, venue hire and conference or banqueting space for venues, and delegate places for conference producers. Most roles carry a target.
- Do I need events experience to work in event sales?
- It helps, but strong B2B sales experience often transfers. What employers test is whether you understand what makes an event valuable to a client, which is what shortens ramp-up time compared with a pure sales hire.
- How is event sales usually paid?
- Typically a base salary with commission or bonus tied to target, which is why the field has some of the strongest earning potential in events. Listings that publish a package show it on the card.
- What roles exist in event sales?
- Sales executive and account executive at the entry end, then sales and account manager, business development manager, and head or director of sales. Venue-side roles often combine sales with planning the events they sell.
