About Candace Price:

Candace graduated from the University of Central Florida with a bachelor’s degree in Mass Communications in 1994.

In 1995 she moved to Nashville and started working with what is now iHeartMedia. With over 25 years of experience in Promotions, Media Marketing, Sales, and Event Production, Candace is passionate about bringing together consumers and brands in meaningful ways.

Candace has produced hundreds of events in close to 20 different cities across the US. This requires constant attention to logistics, marketing, sales, production, vendors, and local city regulations.

Though she’s kept busy juggling all of these details, Price works hard so she can spend quality time with her family. She loves hanging with her twin boys, who are currently sophomores at the University of Kentucky, and her husband, the Master Retailer at Pennington Distilling Company, and keeping fit by hiking the trails at Radnor Lake or Percy Warner Parks. In any spare time, Candace loves to plan and is always looking for the next travel destination.
