Greenane Davison
Exhibit Sales Consultant
Phone: 206.620.0660
Email: greenaned@mpeshows.com
Bio: Hailing from the Midwest and exploring the world at a young age, Greenane's heart has always belonged in the PNW. Lucky for us, the magnetic pull of the Pacific Ocean was strong enough and four years ago, our newest addition to the Tacoma Home + Garden Show team left the blustery Chicago winters to embrace the rainy season with open arms and open umbrellas! An avid traveler, hiker and animal enthusiast, Greenane (pronounced "Gri-non aka "Green") spends her free time with her family and their furry kin (a dog and a horse) and enjoying all that the Pacific Northwest has to offer - including year round gardening and a unique coastal cuisine you just can't find 2,000 miles inland!

Jill Kivett
Regional Vice President & Vice President, Sponsorship
Phone: 604.639.2288 ext. 221

@JillKivett
Bio: Jill helms our shows, people, and mischief in Western Canada, including the long-running Vancouver Home + Design Show and BC Home + Garden Show, and five home shows in the thriving Alberta market. On the team since 2003, this rising
star has been an exhibit space sales rep with Marketplace Events, as well as a Show Manager and Group Manager.
Jill can sink her teeth into a good old-fashioned home decorating project - and she’s got the paint-spattered clothing
to prove it. Occasionally she changes out of it and volunteers for Dress for Success. When taking a break from managing her budget, our favorite University of Alberta grad counts singing along to 80s hair bands and playing golf as hobbies.
Design Tip: I love revamping home decor pieces that I already own. A quick coat of paint turns a mirror, picture frame, or lamp shade into a whole new item.
