 Jackie
Lee Stone
Producer/Event Planner
Jackie’s 20+ years in live events runs the gamut —
corporate, non-profit, festivals, conferences,
one-day, multi-week, indoor, outdoor — she even
managed an Ice Palace for 3 weeks. And she
haaaaaates cold weather!
Jackie’s career started out in civic festival land,
working for the St. Paul Winter Carnival. Next, she
tackled the corporate + convention universe at
Design Group, and then shifted to the non-profit
sector at Children’s Cancer Research Fund, where she
managed the production of two key annual programs;
leading committees, soliciting sponsorships,
developing communication campaigns and managing
event + show logistics.
In 2011, Jackie took a leap of faith and started
Plate Spinner Productions, so that she could balance
family + work in the best way possible – working
from home! Sample projects include managing the
University of Minnesota presence at the State Fair;
producing (and planning!) multiple non-profit galas
in the Twin Cities, producing groundbreaking + grand
opening events for the Minneapolis Park and
Recreation Board; producing the annual Taste of the
NFL and numerous Super Bowl 52 programs, and
producing a number of events for corporations around
town — Target, Best Buy, Boston Scientific and UNFI
to name a few. She has a unique skill set as a
planner + producer, so she can shift as needed to
accommodate budgets and client needs.
In 2020, she joined forces with the State of MN +
North Star Events, and was a leader in the COVID-19
testing + vaccine roll-out and implementation across
Minnesota. From October 2020-April 2022, she proudly
served (w/ countless frontline heroes) alongside her
friends at the MN National Guard as the Logistics
Lead at the Inver Grove Heights testing site.
When Jackie is not working events, you can usually
find her in the Starbucks drive-thru, helping out at
her family’s food truck, running around a Mpls lake,
or taking in a local concert with her family +
friends. She loves the Twin Cities in the summer! |
