Kelsea Thompson | PickleCon Event Operator
Kelsea Thompson is building one of pickleball’s most ambitious live experiences through PickleCon, a fast-growing event platform redefining how the sport shows up in real life. Based in Greenville, South Carolina, her work sits at the intersection of competition, entertainment, and culture.
PickleCon isn’t just a tournament—it’s a full-scale environment designed to bring players, fans, and brands into the same space. From curated programming to high-energy activations, every detail is built to elevate the atmosphere and expand what a pickleball event can be.
With a background in large-scale sports operations, Kelsea brings structure and execution to a category still finding its identity. The focus is clear: bigger stages, stronger engagement, and experiences that match the sport’s rapid growth.
