OUR FOUNDER - KELLY TREADWAY
Kelly brings nearly three decades of specialized expertise in events, hospitality, and marketing to EventCurious.
Her career began in Atlanta’s cultural sector as Events Director at the historic Rialto Center, where she developed a rental program that became the revenue arm sustaining the venue’s Signature Series programs. Her hospitality experience expanded as Catering & Events Director for Kimpton Hotels’ opening team in Atlanta, followed by her role as a top Sales Manager for Novare Events representing Atlanta’s premier event and wedding venues. As part of a previous association management contract she acted as Executive Director of WIPA (Wedding Industry Professionals Association).
Kelly has served as Sales & Marketing Director for various catering, rental, and entertainment companies – gaining comprehensive industry insight.
In 2012, Kelly identified an underserved market for specialized events marketing. After gaining digital marketing certification and conducting a nine-month company build, EventCurious launched in February 2013 with six full-service clients. The company flourished, employing writers and designers across the U.S. – at times managing digital marketing for up to 27 industry accounts in North America.
Today she serves on the SEARCH Foundation Board and is a SEARCH 100 contributor.
