Chelsea Boan-Lewis

At CBL Events, I bring together a strong foundation of education, hands on experience, and operational leadership to deliver well executed, high quality events.

I hold a Project Management Certificate from the University of Regina (2017) and an Event and Promotion Management Diploma from the Centre for Arts and Technology Okanagan (2018). This combination allows me to approach each project with both structure and creativity, balancing big picture vision with detailed execution.

Today, I oversee venue operations, bookings, and event execution for both the Kelowna Event Centre and Kinnikinnick Landing. Through this work, I collaborate with a wide range of clients including brands, corporations, nonprofits, and independent event producers, ensuring each event is supported by strong systems, clear communication, and a capable team.

My experience has been built in environments where precision, adaptability, and audience understanding are essential. This has shaped my approach to event production, creating experiences that are not only well organized, but intentional, engaging, and aligned with the goals of both the client and the audience.

In addition, I serve as Treasurer on the Board of Directors for the Central Okanagan Performing Arts Festival, now in its 98th year. This role reflects my ongoing commitment to supporting and strengthening the local arts and community landscape.

I continue to work closely with nonprofits, festivals, and organizations that value meaningful, well executed gatherings, while also expanding into corporate, brand, and private event production. My leadership style is calm, structured, and hands on, focused on building strong teams, maintaining clarity throughout the process, and ensuring every detail is delivered to a high standard.

The goal is simple. Create events that run seamlessly, feel intentional, and leave a lasting impression.
