Meet Kate Roberts.
With over a decade of diverse experience in event production, I've established myself as a seasoned Events Leader and Communications Generalist. My journey spans key roles at renowned events at Revelstoke Mountain Resort, Shambhala Music Festival, Bass Coast Festival, and the Alberta Electronic Music Conference.
Growing up on the Cabot Trail on Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, I was surrounded by music, art, outdoor sports, and a strong sense of community. These influences shaped my upbringing profoundly. As a cross-country skier and soccer player, I thrived on the camaraderie and challenges of competitions, tournaments, and camps, fostering memories and experiences that stay with me for life.
During my teenage years, I worked as a snowboard instructor at Ski Cape Smokey in the winter and as an ocean kayak guide in the summer, further deepening my connection to nature and adventure. Yet, it was my passion for music and festivals that truly ignited my curiosity. I was captivated by the intricate coordination required to bring these events to life.
At 17, I ventured to Warrington, England, to pursue my A Levels. It was there that I fell in love with UK DJ culture, immersing myself in the vibrant nightlife of Manchester and Liverpool. I knew then that I wanted to be more than just a spectator; I wanted to play a role in shaping these electrifying experiences.
Since then, I've spearheaded end-to-end production for a wide array of events, from sporting competitions like The IFSA Qualifiers to unique experiences like The Wildflower Festival Hike & Draw. Notably, my contributions at Revelstoke Mountain Resort included managing globally recognized events such as the YETI Natural Selection Tour and the Casey Brown's Dark Horse Invitational, earning me a reputation as a proficient event manager.
Recognized for community impact, I was honored with the Spirit of Revelstoke Award in 2021 for my dedication to volunteerism. Holding a BA in Communication and Media Studies from the University of Calgary and a Project Management Specialization from UC Davis, I'm eager to channel my expertise into collaborative ventures, shaping unforgettable experiences together.
