Overview:
About the Role & Team
Join IDC's events team as we build high-impact experiences for IT professionals and IT leaders across North America. We’re hiring a charismatic, organized, and client-centric Event Project Manager to support a portfolio of assigned events focused on our Canadian portfolio with a supporting role in various U.S. based events as well. This role reports to the Sr. Director, Events – Americas and operates as part of a broader regional team, working collaboratively across a global events organization to deliver consistent, high-quality experiences. This is a remote full-time role with high visibility and impact—ideal for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, client-facing environment and can manage multiple concurrent events with autonomy from a home-based office based in the Greater Toronto Area.
As an Event Project Manager in Canada you will serve as the primary owner and client liaison across your assigned portfolio of events, managing sponsor relationships and coordinating event logistics from concept through execution. This role requires the ability to manage multiple event types simultaneously, including large-scale summits, custom (single sponsor) client events, and virtual programs. A strong emphasis is placed on delivering event experiences tailored to contracted client objectives.
You will focus on two primary areas:
Partner Management Managing client goals and contractual activations across assigned events within the Canadian portfolio, including in-person and virtual programs.
Event Operations Planning, coordinating, and executing all logistical elements to ensure seamless delivery across multiple concurrent events. You will work closely with event colleagues in the U.S., Canada and Mexico as well as our broader global internal teams across design, content, operations, and sales plus external suppliers and partners. While this role primarily supports the Canadian portfolio of events, with secondary focus on the U.S. portfolio, IDC operates as a global events business. You will regularly collaborate with stakeholders across multiple regions and time zones. Core working hours are typically 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM ET; however, flexibility is expected to accommodate business needs, including global coordination and live event execution.
What You’ll Do:
Partner Management
Lead kickoff calls and ongoing meetings with sponsors to align on goals, expectations, and deliverables
Translate client business objectives into tailored activation strategies across in-person, virtual, and custom event formats
Manage sponsor relationships across multiple assigned events, ensuring a high level of service and engagement
Coordinate and execute custom client programs, including executive dinners, roundtables, private events, and bespoke experiences.
Collaborate with audience development to support sponsor-targeted attendee recruitment
Manage sponsor participation in speaking opportunities, panels, and brand activations at in-person summits
Lead regular communication with clients, suppliers, and internal stakeholders (primarily via MS Teams)
Track KPIs, gather post-event feedback, and deliver ROI reporting to sponsors
