Executive Vice President - Ai

Build the World's Defining AI Brand

Ai4 is North America’s largest artificial intelligence conference—and we’re just getting started. Since joining the Closer Still Media portfolio, Ai4 has become the premier gathering for the global AI ecosystem, bringing together thousands of executives, founders, researchers, investors, policymakers, and technology leaders to shape the future of artificial intelligence.

Our ambition is to transform Ai4 from a leading conference into one of the world’s most influential business brands—a city‑wide Las Vegas destination that becomes the annual meeting place for the global AI economy. As AI reshapes every industry, Ai4 has the opportunity to become the defining global brand in AI events, setting the benchmark for every conference that follows and expanding into major international markets.

As Executive Vice President, you will lead the Ai4 business with full responsibility for strategy, commercial performance, customer experience, and execution. With current founders rolling out of the business, this is an opportunity to lead the brand as it continues to grow rapidly in this exciting sector.

This role goes beyond event leadership; you will shape the future of one of North America’s fastest‑growing technology brands, lead a high‑performing team, accelerate growth, strengthen the Ai4 brand, and deliver world‑class experiences that define the industry.
