Own The Conversation - Issue 94
What jobs data are you interested in? In this week's issue: launching our Reddit (subreddit), a bit of a preview of my UNPARSED talk, jobs a plenty and a repost of the latest blog on freelancing.
This week’s Own The Conversation is brought to you in association with UNPARSED.
The world’s most loved Conversational AI Conference is back and it’s this week!
Get ready for 3 whole days of advanced-level practitioner-focussed content from
the leading experts in our industry while providing plenty of opportunities to
build your network.
This year sees an incredible new venue, an extra day, a whole second stage dedicated to developers and a brand new awards ceremony celebrating the best of the Conversational AI community.
YOU WON’T WANT TO MISS IT.
As a special offer, Own The Conversation readers can still access early bird pricing by using the coupon code ‘BOTJOBS’ when registering tickets here.
And I will be speaking on the final day. I’ll be talking about the state of the market for Conversational AI professionals and take a look back over 3+ years of data from Bot Jobs and the 2852 Conversation Design Roles that we’ve advertised there.

Colleagues
Who uses Reddit (I still can’t remember if it’s double-d or double-t)? I was reading some interesting data on advertising jobs there, so this week I launched a subreddit for Bot Jobs.
While the aim is to provide another channel for job alerts, I welcome any and all chat relating to Conversational AI Careers. Feel free to join up and get involved in the conversation.
This week at UNPARSED, I’ll be presenting to an audience of Conversational AI professionals about what employers are advertising for, when it comes to Conversation Designers.
I’ll also be releasing this data as a report in the coming weeks.
So, I want to know what data interests you more:
Also, this week is the last edition to be run in association with UNPARSED, so I am now looking for future sponsors. If you want to promote a product, event or news item, then get in touch and we can discuss sponsorship options.
So, without further ado, let's dive in and Own The Conversation!
Here’s to another great week ahead,
Martyn
