About
Hi, I'm Katy Jacobi
I founded Stage Setter to give organisations and individuals a single, dependable partner for events of every scale, from boardroom conferences to festival fields.
With more than 25 years' experience across corporate, conference, B2B and community events, I take events from funding and planning right through to delivery and post-event reporting. Most recently, as Events Manager with Killarney Chamber of Tourism & Commerce, I delivered festivals, parades, jobs fairs, member networking events and the Order of Innisfallen Awards, working alongside festival committees, hundreds of volunteers, public agencies and sponsors.
I've lived and worked in Germany, the US, Latvia, Georgia and Oman, and that international outlook shapes how I work. I'm at home with different cultures, comfortable with international guests, speakers and suppliers, and fluent in English and German.
I hold a Diploma in Event Management from the Fitzwilliam Institute and have completed Fáilte Ireland's Festivals Masterclass. Based in Co. Kerry, I work with clients across Ireland.
