Kelsey Williams
Meet Kelsey! ED’s Lead Planner, Visionary, Marketing & Design Guru, Project Manager, and Storytelling Ninja!
Kelsey works with you to move ideas to a vision, to design concept, to implementation and execution. She creates memorable experiences and ensures that you share authentic and meaningful messages with your event attendees. Kelsey’s speciality is telling impactful stories and taking attendees through a range of experiences and ways to connect with your brand.
Kelsey has been with ED since 2014 and has honed her talents for many years prior. Her experience includes marketing, fundraising, sponsorship, communications, board management and event production in a variety of industries. Kelsey has organized in-person and virtual events locally and nationally from small gatherings to over 1500 attendees.
Kelsey’s favourite things about her job include taking a creative vision through the many steps of making it happen and then making it seem seamless and easy for the client and attendees. She continuously is thinking about things before they are a concern or issue, bringing thoughtful suggestions to clients that best tell their story, and looking at the whole picture and focusing on the attendee experience. Event day is always a rewarding experience to see all of the hard work and planning come to life and see the impact it had on the attendees.
When working with Kelsey you will find that she is thoughtful, driven, and organized. Kelsey can be relied upon to get shit done, consider your attendee’s experience, bring a marketing perspective to the table, have strong vendor relations and make the connection to the right suppliers. She’ll keep the project moving on time and budget, and most importantly – make the process fun and not too overwhelming!
After work Kelsey can be found spending time outside with her family camping, hiking, sledding, backyard fires and taking care of her chickens. Yes, she’s the token crazy cat lady but with chickens. She also enjoys running and exercising and traveling (when we can). Kelsey is married to an incredibly supportive husband who helps her brainstorm concepts and puts up with her detailed at home to-do lists. She has three young kids – twin boys in elementary and a daughter in preschool.
