Congratulations to our latest Certified Venue Professionals: Sean Brown, CVP, Senior Director of Ball Park Operations at Cincinnati Reds Great American Ball Park & Kevin McIntyre, CVP, Director of the Lloyd Noble Center and South Campus, University of Oklahoma Athletic Department!
View all of our current CVP’s here.
Thanks to the generous funding and support from the IAVM Foundation, the CVP program was launched in August 2015 at VenueConnect in Baltimore. It recognizes the competence of middle-to-senior-level managers of public assembly venues as well as assisting the managers in creating a professional roadmap in the venue industry.
The CVP designation says three important things about an individual: he or she is a capable professional, is committed to the industry, and is pledged to continued professional growth and development. Venue professionals who earn the CVP designation are recognized, by those inside and outside the industry, as skilled in their profession.
Please welcome our newest members who joined IAVM in November 2017. Thank you for being a part of the association!
“I am really excited joining Guy and the Dubai Arena project for what will be a game changer for live entertainment here in the Middle East,” Ovesen said. “I intend to tap into the AEG touring and venue network and most importantly, working with all the regional promoters as well as the top talents, their agents and managers of the global touring and music world.”
Cathy Breden, CMP, CAE. “It is a resource that helps exhibitors benchmark their spending allocations to industry norms and helps organizers and suppliers understand how much of exhibitor spending they are capturing.”
