Kelly McGrath

Learn the true meaning of ‘Minnesota nice’ as we catch up with Kelly McGrath, Director of Sales, Marketing and Public Relations for Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul, Minnesota. Kelly tells us about the Twin Cities, the individuality each city has, and it’s place as a mecca for live music. She talks about plans for the upcoming NHL Winter Classic, which the Minnesota Wild are hosting on January 1, and the NYE concert they’re promoting at the arena in conjunction with it. We discuss EAMC 2022 which was just announced to be heading to the Twin Cities in June, and how the relationships built at the conference have paid off when facing challenges in the industry. She takes us through her career journey up through her perspective of the challenging time of the last year and a half.
