Colleen Quinn

Adventures In Venueland

Place an order for your favorite deep-dish pizza, kick back, and join us in Chi-Town as we chat with our friend, Colleen Quinn, Communications & Digital Marketing Director at United Center. Colleen walks us through the complicated and interesting process of bidding on hosting the Democratic National Convention – from the RFP response to hosting the DNC Committee to presenting at a visit to Baltimore. She talks about how she got into the industry including a fun internship at Shedd Aquarium, the importance of being your own advocate in the workplace, and the how important company culture is. Colleen talks about the challenges of being a new mom, and how United Center’s priority in employee wellbeing has not only helped during that time but also continues to offer amazing perks, such as a full gym and personal trainers for employees (WHAT?!? Amazing!). Enjoy this fun, informative episode that’s packed with great career advice, interesting industry strategies, and Chicago pizza hot takes. 🍕 Boiler up Second City!
