JOB OVERVIEW

We are seeking a detail-oriented Executive Assistant to research speaking opportunities for a U.S.-based professional speaker and event food and beverage expert.

The primary project is to identify conferences, association events, hospitality-industry programs, and professional meetings where she may be a good fit as a keynote speaker, workshop facilitator, panelist, or trainer.

Responsibilities include:
• Researching conferences and professional organizations in the United States and internationally
• Finding 2026 and 2027 event dates, locations, websites, and estimated attendance
• Identifying calls for speakers and submission deadlines
• Finding the people responsible for education, programming, conferences, or speaker selection
• Locating verified professional contact information and LinkedIn profiles
• Reviewing past conference programs and speakers to assess whether the opportunity is a good fit
• Organizing research in a clear, accurate spreadsheet
• Checking all facts against reliable sources and providing source links
• Identifying opportunities that require immediate follow-up
• Comparing opportunities against a list of organizations where the speaker has previously presented

The ideal candidate can go beyond a basic Google search. We need someone who is curious, persistent, and able to locate information across association websites, conference pages, LinkedIn, event programs, PDFs, and other public sources.

This is a research-focused position. It does not initially include contacting prospects, submitting speaker applications, or sending outreach emails.

Skills and Qualifications
• Strong written and reading comprehension in English
• Excellent online research skills
• Experience researching companies, associations, conferences, or professional contacts
• Ability to evaluate information instead of simply copying search results
• Proficiency with Google Sheets or Microsoft Excel
• Strong attention to detail and accuracy
• Ability to follow instructions and maintain consistent formatting
• Comfortable researching U.S.-based organizations and job titles
• Able to distinguish confirmed information from estimates or unverified information
• Able to work independently and communicate questions clearly
• Experience using LinkedIn for professional research
• Familiarity with the meetings, events, hospitality, association, or professional-speaking industries is helpful but not required

Candidates should not guess email addresses, dates, attendance figures, or contact information. Any information that cannot be verified should be clearly identified as unavailable or requiring additional research.
