Fresh event jobs + two resources worth bookmarking

Quick one today — but a useful one if you're navigating a job search, or know someone who is.

The events job market right now is tough. Talented people are out of work, competition is intense, and most job boards treat "event planner" as an afterthought between "dental hygienist" and "forklift operator."

So here are two resources worth having in your corner.

🗂️ The Silicon Valley Speakers Jobs Page

I updated the dedicated jobs resource page at svsb.ai/for-event-professionals/jobs, and it's become the first thing I point people to when they ask where to start.

What's in there:

7 industry-specific job boards (EventCareers, MPI Career Center, PCMA, IAEE, and more) — the ones that actually have event roles, not aggregators where your search returns 40% warehouse jobs

16+ company career pages to bookmark directly, from Freeman and Encore to Cvent and George P. Johnson — many post roles here before they hit any job board

A curated list of event staffing agencies for both temp and permanent placement

The EventProfs Jobs Database built in partnership with Brad Gillespie and The Method Project, which is updated regularly for event pros

Practical job search tips that actually apply to this industry

It's completely free. No signup, no form, no sales call. Just a clean starting point so you're not Googling blind or texting "does anyone know of any openings?" into five different group chats.

🤝 Club Ichi's Job Seeker Membership

If the jobs resource is where you find the jobs, Club Ichi is where you find the people who can help you actually get them.

Founded by Liz Lathan and Nicole Osibodu — both veterans of corporate event marketing at Dell and IBM — Club Ichi has grown into a community of 550+ paid members who've collectively produced over 12,000 events and control $1.3 billion in buying power. It's not another association with a quarterly happy hour and stale programming. The whole point is participation — real conversations, peer-to-peer problem solving, and the kind of relationships you'll still have in ten years.

The testimonials say it better than I can:

"I totally owe this new job to the Club Ichi Job Seekers channel" — Alison Dunn

"I literally would not have the job I have today if it were not for Club Ichi" — Summer Martinez

They recently launched a Job Seeker Membership specifically for people in the middle of a search — and the offer is genuinely one of the best ones I've seen:

90 days free, then $33/month

What you get during the free trial:

• Access to the Slack channel with job postings

• Access to the Job Search Club and on-demand content

• Opportunities for resume reviews and mock interviews

After 90 days, you're automatically upgraded to full Insider access. Three months to tap into the community, get eyes on your resume, and decide if it's worth continuing — with zero upfront cost.

In an industry where "networking" too often means shooting LinkedIn DMs into the void, this gets you in with people connected to companies that are actually hiring.
