In June 2026, ParkBee will be exhibiting at PROVADA, the Netherlands’ leading real estate trade fair, showcasing our position at the forefront of smart parking technology. This is a key moment to connect with top real estate decision-makers and elevate our brand in the market.
The Role
We are looking for an experienced freelance B2B marketeer and event manager to own the end-to-end delivery of our PROVADA 2026 presence. You will be the central project manager, creative lead and execution driver for everything that happens before, during and after the fair.
This is a high-visibility role with direct exposure to our leadership team and key partners. You will work closely with our sales team, marketing leads, and external partners including our stand builder.
In the first 6 weeks (March 15 – end of April), the work is primarily planning-focused: briefing the stand builder, aligning on brand direction, coordinating the design process and setting up the communication plan. From May onwards the pace increases ⚡, with the final 3 weeks requiring close to full-time commitment.

Team logistics: Stand schedule, briefing documents, printed materials, catering and dinner bookings.
On-site management: Daily briefings at 09:30, stand activation, visitor engagement, signing moment logistics
Post-event: Lead follow-up coordination, LinkedIn content, evaluation report.
