Now hiring: Retail Customer Experience seeking audience development leader
June 14, 2021 by Judy Mottl — Editor, RetailCustomerExperience.com & DigitalSignageToday.com
When Networld Media Group launched over 20 years ago, as founder and publisher of ATM Marketplace, few could have predicted that the small family-owned company would grow up to produce several annual events and publish nine B2B business sites — including Retail Customer Experience, Fast Casual, QSRweb, Pizza Marketplace and Food Truck Operator.
Embracing innovation, a dedication to nimbleness and being first are cornerstones of the company, so when the coronavirus forced us to cancel the 2020 Restaurant Franchising & Innovation Summit, just days before it was set to kick off, along with all other in-person events of the year, we quickly pivoted to virtual events.
Our annual Fast Casual Top 100 Awards dinner and Fast Casual Executive Summit, for example, were both held virtually in 2020, and we even launched the Self-Service Innovation Virtual Summit, which drew more than 3,000 attendees in December.
Fast forward to today, and we are ready for in-person events starting with the Restaurant Franchising & Innovation Summit on Aug. 10-12. We'll close out 2021 with the Self-Service Innovation Summit — now an in-person event — on Dec. 14-16 in Hollywood. Building on its success with virtual events, we'll will also host two new virtual events this year, #ElevateICX Virtual Symposium on July 15 and #QSRNexton Nov. 9.
The combination of in-person and virtual events presents an opportunity for significant growth for Networld's events business and has opened up the need to hire a director of audience development to grow event attendance.
"Our event growth is exploding," said Kathy Doyle, president and publisher of Networld Media Group. "We are looking to recruit a talented, highly-motivated individual that will appreciate working with a small, but powerful media company that focuses on delivering high quality results to their customers — both end-users and suppliers."
