About WOW Event Management

I’m Shawna Gray, a corporate event planner in Kelowna with 17 years of experience across the Okanagan. My work started in hospitality, where I learned that good service comes from anticipating what people need before they ask. I brought that approach into event planning, and it still guides how I work with businesses today.

I plan conferences, team-building events, client appreciation evenings, and high-profile galas for companies and non-profit organizations. I bring a calm, methodical approach to every project, whether it’s a 20-person leadership retreat or a 500-guest evening. I hold PMP certification from the Project Management Institute and a WPICC event planning certification, and I use both to build a schedule that holds up on the day.

I know Kelowna’s venues, suppliers, and seasons, and I plan around them. Corporate dates are often booked three to six months out, so I start early, while venues and transport still have options.

My community work is part of how I plan events. I serve as Gala Director for the RISE Awards and sit on the board of Kelowna Women in Business, so I see how fundraising events and company events work from the inside.
