Hurricane Season Checklist: Safety First on the East Coast

Kim Ayers brings a steady, grounded presence to the experiential entertainment communities she serves. With more than a decade of industry involvement, she has become known for her enthusiastic approach, genuine curiosity, and ability to navigate accounts with layers, quirks, or complexities. Operators often say the same thing: if it’s unusual, high exposure, or a little bit chaotic, Kim is the one who won’t flinch. She welcomes the challenge. "Bring me your weird” is less a motto and more an operating style.

Her understanding of risk and operations comes from showing up in person and spending time where the magic happens: reviewing the risk management of corn mazes, queue lines, and every space where guests interact with an experience. She believes that nothing replaces an open conversation—discussing how guests move, how staff work, how safety is managed, and where hidden vulnerabilities might be overlooked. Conference season is one of her favorite times of the year because it lets her walk properties firsthand, reconnect with operators, and soak in the creativity that fuels this industry.

Kim’s personal life is deeply rooted in rural farm living. A lifelong horseperson, she spends her days surrounded by the routines of farm work, her thriving garden, and the company of her three big, fluffy dogs who consider themselves essential support staff. She is also a proud mother of three grown daughters—an aspiring astrophysicist, a pilot, and a professional horse trainer—each forging remarkable paths that reflect the same determination and curiosity she brings to her work.

She has traveled to all 50 states and 15 countries, collecting perspectives and stories that shape her understanding of people and place. Whether exploring a new landscape or tending to the quiet rhythm of home, Kim brings that same grounded, open hearted presence to the clients she serves: steady, thoughtful, and genuinely invested in their success.
