About Chain of Events

Chain of Events brings together the people shaping the future of technology, business and innovation through three leading summits in Paris.

Chain of Events runs three summits, all in Paris, all within the same week:

• Signal Week — the institutional summit for digital assets. Founded in 2019 as Paris Blockchain Week and elevated to Signal Week in 2026, it draws 10,000+ attendees from 100+ countries, roughly 70% of them C-suite. Its last edition convened 250+ banks and financial institutions, over $50T in assets under management, and 70 government officials and regulators — BlackRock, J.P. Morgan, Deutsche Bank, Fidelity, BNY Mellon, Citi, the London Stock Exchange, ESMA and the European Commission among them. The thesis: TradFi and digital assets are no longer two industries but one financial system being rebuilt on shared rails.

• RAISE Summit — the AI summit for decision-makers. Launched in 2024, it has grown from 2,000 to 9,000+ attendees across three editions (80%+ C-level, from 76 countries), with 350+ speakers spanning AI infrastructure, enterprise adoption, agentic systems, sovereignty and policy. The 2026 edition at the Carrousel du Louvre featured Mark Cuban, Yann LeCun and Nelson Griggs (Nasdaq), plus the Versailles AI Gala, the RAISE Hackathon and RAISE the STAKES (1,100+ startup applications in 2026).

• MACHINA Summit — Europe's leading event dedicated to Physical AI: intelligence that acts on the real world through humanoids, industrial robotics, autonomous systems and next-generation human–machine interfaces. Its inaugural 2026 edition brought together the labs building humanoids and the enterprises deploying robotics at scale, with speakers from Google DeepMind, Boston Dynamics, NVIDIA, 1X, Apptronik and Agility Robotics. It's the fastest-moving brand in the portfolio, with the most white space ahead of it.

In July 2026, all three brands were acquired by Hyve Group, the global B2B events organiser behind Fintech Meetup, HLTH and Shoptalk. In July 2027, they'll converge on the Palais des Congrès during the exact same week.

Role Overview

Chain of Events is looking for a Design UI Intern to work directly with the development team on the RAISE Summit and MACHINA Summit websites and digital products, reporting into the Developer Lead and working alongside the Marketing Lead for RAISE and MACHINA and the brand, design, and marketing teams. This is a hands-on role for a UI designer who cares about detail, understands how designs get built, and wants to create digital experiences that go beyond the standard event website.

Both summit websites are constantly evolving, with new speakers, sponsors, agendas, ticket releases, and campaigns going live every week. You'll help keep them up to date and on-brand, and explore new product builds and creative UI and UX ideas, from interactive features to standout campaign pages. You don't need to be a developer, but a solid understanding of front-end build will help you design things the team can ship.

This six-month internship runs from 1 February to 31 July 2027, covering the build-up to both 2027 editions at the Palais des Congrès and the summits themselves in July, when both websites change almost daily.

Key Responsibilities

Website Design & Updates

• Design and update pages across the RAISE and MACHINA websites, from speaker, sponsor, and agenda pages to ticketing and campaign pages.

• Keep both websites consistent with each brand's design system, spotting and fixing anything that drifts off-brand.

• Prepare clean, well-organised Figma files and specs so the development team can build quickly and accurately.

• Review pages in staging and live on desktop and mobile, flagging layout, responsive, and accessibility issues.

Product & Creative UI/UX

• Explore product builds and creative UI and UX experiences that go beyond the standard event website, such as interactive agendas, speaker discovery, and attendee tools.

• Design and prototype new features and flows in Figma, from early concepts to build-ready designs.

• Bring ideas on micro-interactions, motion, and layout that make the sites feel premium and distinctive.

Working with the Development Team

• Work day to day with developers building in Next.js and deploying on Vercel, understanding what is quick to build and what needs more time.

• Where comfortable, make small front-end changes or prototype ideas in code with AI tools, with support from the team.

Design System & Components

• Help build and maintain web components and UI patterns in Figma that match each brand's design system.

• Document components and design decisions so the web team and other designers can reuse them consistently.

Testing & Improvement

• Use analytics and user feedback to spot where pages and journeys can be improved, from navigation to ticket checkout.

• Use AI tools to speed up design, prototyping, and testing, and share what works with the team.

What You'll Bring

Experience & Knowledge

• Currently studying (or recently graduated) in UI/UX design, digital design, interaction design, or a related field, and eligible for an internship agreement in France.

• A portfolio of UI or web design work from study, a previous internship, or personal projects.

• Confident in Figma, including components, auto layout, and prototyping.

• A solid understanding of how front-end builds work (HTML, CSS, responsive layouts, components). You don't need to be a developer, but this is a huge benefit.

• Hands-on enthusiasm for AI design and build tools, and a willingness to experiment.

Working Style

• Ambitious and eager to learn - you want to see your designs go live and get used.

• Organised and precise, with a sharp eye for pixel-level detail, and comfortable working at pace when updates need to go live quickly.

• Easy-going and approachable, happy to ask questions and take feedback.

• Collaborative, working smoothly between design, development, and marketing.

• Curious about technology - AI, robotics, and new digital products should interest you, even if you're new to the space.

Nice to Have

• Hands-on experience with Next.js, Vercel, or React, even at a basic level.

• Familiarity with Monday.com or similar work-management tools.

• Experience prototyping with AI build tools, or with motion and micro-interaction design.

What we offer

• Paid internship - six-month internship agreement (convention de stage), 1 February to 31 July 2027

• Hands-on experience designing live websites and digital products for two summits: one of the world's fastest-growing AI summits and a fast-growing robotics and physical AI summit

• Mentorship from experienced design, development, and marketing talent, and exposure to founders and senior leadership

• Attendance at RAISE, MACHINA and Signal Week, alongside the most influential people in the industry

• 100% Navigo, meal vouchers (€12.79/day, €8 employer-covered)

• A diverse, multicultural team and real, visible impact on the work

Recruitment process

• Screening Interview (30 min): first conversation about your background and motivations.

• Hiring Manager Interview (30 min): deep-dive with the hiring manager on the role and your experience.

• Use Case (60–90 min): a practical exercise, presented and discussed with the team.

• CEO + HR Call (15-30min)

Working Environment

This role sits within a fast-paced, high-energy marketing team behind RAISE Summit and MACHINA Summit, both held in Paris each July. Workload follows the campaign cycle - steady periods of design and build work alongside busy peaks around launches, ticket releases, and the summits themselves. The ability to stay organised, communicate clearly, and stay accurate under pressure is essential.
