Freelance Content Writer – On‑Site Event Coverage

Overview

We are seeking an experienced freelance content writer based in or near Las Vegas to provide fast-turnaround, on-site coverage of InfoComm 2026, the largest professional AV trade show in North America. This role is ideal for a journalist who thrives in a live-event environment, can identify newsworthy moments as they happen, and is comfortable covering technical topics for an engaged professional audience.

The writer must be available on-site at the Las Vegas Convention Center for the full duration of the event, June 16–19, 2026. Remote coverage is not an option for this assignment. If the engagement is a strong fit and availability allows, this assignment may extend beyond InfoComm into ongoing remote freelance work.

• Collaborate with editors remotely while working autonomously on-site

Required Qualifications

• Journalism background or equivalent professional writing experience
• Proven experience covering live events, conferences, or trade shows
• Ability to understand, synthesize, and clearly explain technical topics
• Strong news judgment and storytelling skills
• Comfortable working independently in a fast-paced environment
• Reliable on-site availability for all four event days

Preferred / Bonus Qualifications

• Prior experience covering the AV, technology, or related industries
• Familiarity with InfoComm or large-scale B2B trade shows
• Existing relationships within the AV or pro technology space

Compensation & Logistics

• Compensation ranges from $150–$250 per article, based on story scope, reporting depth, and complexity
• Lunch provided or reimbursed during show days
• Travel and parking expenses within Las Vegas covered
• Writer must supply their own laptop and recording equipment
• If writer is available prior to June, relevant work can start immediately
