Savannah, GA – The Savannah Convention Center is proud to announce the appointment of industry veteran Fredia M. Brady as Senior Director of Sales & Marketing. A familiar face in the region, Brady returns to the facility she helped open and previously led in the same capacity until 2017.
Brady brings more than 30 years of experience in venue management, hotel and convention sales, and business development. She returns to Savannah following a highly successful tenure as General Manager of the Wilmington Convention Center in North Carolina, where she led the facility through a period of transformational growth. During her time in Wilmington, Brady led the venue to its first-ever profit and achieved record-breaking revenues in 2023.
“Fredia’s reputation for driving sales performance, building high-performing teams, and strengthening industry partnerships makes her an ideal fit for this role,” said Kelvin D. Moore, Senior Vice President for the Georgia World Congress Center Authority and General Manager of the Savannah Convention Center. “Her familiarity with the market, our partners, and local leaders is the icing on the cake. We’re thrilled to welcome her back at such a pivotal time for the Center and for Savannah as a destination.”
As a member of the original opening team, Brady helped establish the Center’s presence in the market and played a key role in its early growth. Her return coincides with the Center’s next chapter, following a major expansion and the early stages of planning for an adjacent headquarter hotel.
“Returning to Savannah and to the Center I helped launch is a full-circle moment,” said Brady. “I’m excited to rejoin this incredible team and contribute to the continued momentum of both this facility and the city.”
Brady will officially assume her new role on June 16, 2025.
