Event Coordinator Intern

Innovate Cybersecurity is a premier education and events company for cybersecurity professionals. We produce executive-level conferences and regional events that bring security leaders and industry innovators together to connect, learn, and tackle the challenges shaping the field. Our work is built on curated, high-caliber experiences and a strong sense of community — and the events team is at the heart of making every one of them happen.

We’re seeking a motivated, detail-oriented Event Coordinator Intern to help plan and execute our regional events and premier cybersecurity conferences. This is a 3-to-5-month internship with the opportunity to convert to a full-time role if it’s the right fit. It’s a hands-on operations role focused on event logistics, on-site execution, and event organization.

The ideal candidate is highly organized, adapts quickly, takes initiative, and is a team player! This role involves regular travel and physical event work, so flexibility and a willingness to be on-site are essential. You’ll work alongside the Event Marketing Manager and Events team to execute high-quality events geared toward executive-level audiences.
