Events & Community Lead
Vendelux helps companies discover the best events. Event marketers are the unsung heroes of successful companies. From generating leads to building world-class brands, event marketers make magic happen throughout the year. Vendelux is here to help maximize the impact of all the events that a company sponsors and attends.
We are a Series A SaaS company and provide the system of record for event marketing. Our software platform provides proprietary insights that helps high-growth companies find the highest ROI events, conferences and trade shows to attend and sponsor. We have built an AI-powered platform that customers describe as an event marketer’s dream.
Vendelux was founded in 2021, and our recent $14 million Series A was led by FirstMark, whose portfolio includes companies like Shopify, Pinterest, Discord, Airbnb, Draft Kings, Carta and Justworks (amongst others). Our leadership team includes alumni from Bain, ZoomInfo, Shutterstock, Compass, ModernLoop, Forter, Zulilly, NewtonX.
The Events & Community Lead role is two-fold: this person will own Vendelux’s entire events ecosystem and serve as the public face of Vendelux for the event marketing community. Our events plan includes everything from a major flagship event in 2026 to our trade show presences, activations, dinners, virtual programs. The second pillar of the role is building, activating, and scaling a highly engaged community of event, field, and marketing professionals, both customers and the broader market. The right candidate will be comfortable being the voice of event marketers, posting their unique POV on social media, and becoming central in Vendelux’s marketing strategy.
