Together, we combine Finelight Media’s marketing expertise with A-Team Group’s long-established reputation in delivering high-quality industry insights and events. In 2025, we successfully launched our first manufacturing-focused event alongside a series of well-received, industry-specific webinars, marking the beginning of a powerful joint venture designed to scale rapidly.

As we expand our event portfolio and build on the momentum of our first year, we are now seeking a dedicated Delegate Sales Executive to join our growing team.
