Glasgow, United Kingdom University of Strathclyde Full time

**Salary range**: £23160 - £23881 (plus 5% shift allowance)

**FTE**: 1.0 (35 hours per week)

**Term**: Open

**Closing date**: 14 May 2025

The University is looking to appoint a Conference Host to join the team which supports commercial and corporate event activity within our award-winning Technology & Innovation Centre (TIC), across the campus, and supporting our Conference Management Service (CMS).

The Technology & Innovation Centre (TIC) is the University’s flagship research facility, opened by HM The Queen in July 2015. TIC is home to £11m of dedicated, flexible conferencing facilities, and has quickly established itself as one the country’s most popular venues for business events and academic meetings, hosting more than 600 events and 46,000 delegates in academic year 2023/24 alone. The venue won the Bronze award for UK Best Academic Venue at the Meetings & Incentive Travel awards magazine in March 2019; was named Best Academic Venue at the CHS Awards in June 2019; Best Scottish Venue & Events Team at the E Awards in 2023 and is a proud holder of Green Tourism Gold accreditation.

Our Conference Hosts provide a range of practical support services to conference organisers, to ensure that all attendees have a first-class customer experience, whether their event takes place on campus or online. The post-holder plays a key role in supporting day-to-day operations, both on campus and online. Duties include (but are not limited to):

- First point of contact for building visitors, assistance with wayfinding in the building and general use of the facilities
- Providing front line support to all event organisers including troubleshooting, adjusting programs and requirements and relaying updated information to other operational departments
- Assisting with guest service, room set-ups, portering, and basic audio-visual support as operations require
- Management of event details for Occupant Room Use bookings, liaising with the Business Development Co-ordinator and with room bookers, to ensure that such meetings are delivered effectively, professionally and in a manner complementary to commercial conferencing activity.
- Supporting date entry, configuration of specific elements of functionality within the CMS platform; supporting attendee registration.

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 demeanor, experience within a conferencing or events environment and a flexible approach to their work.

Interviews are scheduled to take place on 23 May 2025.
