    Brief

    NICE is seeking an experienced event management contractor to plan and deliver a high-quality annual conference for 2027, 2028, and 2029. The contractor will be responsible for all aspects of event development and execution, including securing speakers from NICE's executive leadership, partner organizations in health and care, and the pharmaceutical and healthtech sectors. The event must appeal to delegates, sponsors, and exhibitors. This is a profit-making opportunity where the contractor retains revenue from sponsorships and exhibitions, but assumes full financial responsibility for all event costs and operations. The contract will begin in September or October 2026, allowing immediate preparation for the inaugural 2027 conference. Successful contractors should have demonstrated experience in managing large-scale professional conferences and strong relationships within the healthcare and life sciences sectors.
