Jeremy Ackles
Director of Events
Oak View Group | Greenville Convention Center


As the Director of Events at the Greenville Convention Center, I lead a dedicated team committed to enhancing Greenville's event landscape. My journey is fueled by ambition and a passion for community engagement. With a Master's in Public Administration from Columbus State University and over 10 years of experience in Venue Management, Economic Development, and Government Administration, I have transformed ideas into impactful realities, notably implementing initiatives that have not only elevated the profile of the convention center but have also created numerous opportunities for local businesses and community members to thrive. Beyond my professional achievements, I am deeply committed to giving back to the community. As a fresh face in Greenville, giving back to the community shows that I care about more than my own quality of life and means that I am serious about seeing improvements. As I strive to be a catalyst for positive change, embodying empowerment, resilience, and excellence in every endeavor, my long-term goal is to achieve advancement and leadership in the Venue Management industry as a General Manager, Venue Executive, or VP.
