Job Summary

At Kenes Group, we don’t just organize conferences – we create platforms that inspire innovation, build communities, and drive progress. With 60 years of experience in global conference management, part of our company is Kenes Original Event – an initiative to develop proprietary event brands at the intersection of knowledge, impact, and experience.
