Shannon Duncan Named to IAVM's 30 Under 30 Class

Wichita, Kansas – Shannon Duncan, Senior Guest Experience Manager for ASM Global at INTRUST Bank Arena, has been named to the 2025 30 Under 30 class by the International Association of Venue Managers Foundation. This program focuses on identifying and developing the talent of venue industry professionals, 30 years of age and under, through increased access and exposure to industry networking and thought leadership.

Duncan was honored for her multitude of accomplishments at INTRUST Bank Arena. In her time with ASM Global, she has risen from a part-time ticket scanner to part-time Guest Experience Supervisor, to her current role as full-time Senior Guest Experience Manager. Shannon leads by example and cultivates teamwork in the staff of more than 130 guest experience team members she manages. In March 2025, Duncan led the Guest Experience team in the preparation and execution of the 2025 NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Championship First/Second Rounds. This marked the second time INTRUST Bank Arena was selected to host this event, and the first for Shannon as a full-time team member, and extensive hours were required by the entire team to ensure a successful nationally televised event.

“We are very proud of Shannon for being recognized as a leader of her generation within the venue management industry,” said Tommy Sisemore, ASM Global Assistant General Manager. “Shannon’s strong work ethic, positive attitude and leadership skills are a vital key to the success of INTRUST Bank Arena and our ability to efficiently host a wide variety of large-scale events.”

The 30 Under 30 Class were selected for their demonstrated leadership, passion for the industry and commitment to making a last impact. The Class of 2025 will convene for the first time at IAVM’s VenueConnect Annual Conference and Trade Show in New Orleans this July.
