About Opal Group
What is Opal Group?
Opal Group produces premier virtual and live conferences for top executives and decision-makers — with legacy strength in finance and investment events, plus facilities, HR, healthcare, energy and emerging-tech programming. Founded in 1998 by Abe Wellington and headquartered in New York City, the ~360-person firm has produced conferences for over 25 years, generating roughly $78M in annual revenue.
Where will I work?
From home: "100% remote work environment with occasional travel to on-site conferences" — the travel being the point of the job, since somebody has to run the events. Current openings span conference production, audience development, sponsorship sales and digital marketing.
What is the Opal team like?
Event professionals who run the room without living in an office — producers, marketers and sales reps building executive gatherings, remotely, between show days.
Work-Life Balance
The benefits block repeats across its postings, verbatim: "Summer Fridays", "One Wellness & Wellbeing Day, One Floating Holiday, and One Religious Observance Day per year", and "Paid federal holidays with early release the day prior" — a company that lets you start every long weekend early, all year.
Perks and Benefits
- Summer Fridays
- Early release before every paid federal holiday
- Wellness & Wellbeing Day + floating holiday + religious-observance day
- 100% remote environment; all travel expenses covered for on-site events

How we verified this listing
Our two discovery passes disagreed about this company, so we settled it the only honest way: reading the live board ourselves. What we found: seven remote, white-collar conference roles, with the Summer Fridays block in every JD we checked — a company-wide benefits boilerplate, consistently applied. Events work has intense show weeks by nature, and review-site ratings were unreachable at add time — both disclosed for your interview questions.
