TIC is the University's flagship research facility, opened by Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II in July 2015.

  • Supporting the configuration of specific elements of functionality within the online event platform; supporting testing in advance of the event; and, providing live support for online attendees during the event.


The Hosts work closely with the Conference Porter, Conference Operations Co-ordinators, Conference & Events Officers and the Conference Operations Manager, and with other operational support staff based in the venue.

The Conference Host is essential to the effective operation of a first-class event experience at the University.

The role requires a motivated, enthusiastic individual with an eye for detail, a calm and professional demeanour, experience within a conferencing or events environment and a flexible approach to their work.
