Since being named vice president of sales for the Wisconsin Center District in 2018, Megan Seppmann shepherded in a new era of prosperity for the district that saw the occupancy rate for the Baird Center, the UW-Milwaukee Panther Arena and the Miller High Life Theatre increase from 40% to 85%, according to Joe Scialfa, director of communications for WCD.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Baird Center hosted Milwaukee County’s 2020 Presidential Election recount, a COVID-19 vaccine clinic that administered nearly 145,000 doses, and the immersive Beyond Van Gogh exhibit, which broke the record for the highest-grossing ticketed event in WCD history with 200,000 tickets sold.
She also worked with VISIT Milwaukee to win the bid for the 2020 Democratic National Convention as well as the 2024 Republican National Convention.
Seppmann sits on the board of directors for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Metro Milwaukee. In 2021, she received the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society – Wisconsin Chapter’s Community Involvement Award. In 2020, she established the Megan M. Seppmann Hospitality Scholarship at her alma mater, Southwest Minnesota State University.
