About Kimberly Allen, Something Fabulous — There aren’t many event professionals who can say they got their start in the circus, so Kimberly wears that experience like a badge of honor. With a background in technical theatre design, she launched her career in the entertainment industry as a jack-of-all-trades with the Big Apple Circus, Ringling Bros., and Barnum and Bailey. It was there that she got a taste for experiential design and the wonder of turning an average event into something spectacular. In the late 90s, she left the road to pursue special event services and never looked back. By 2002, she cofounded TurnKey Productions which then evolved into Something Fabulous just two years later. Today, Kimberly serves as the Chief Experience Officer, having transformed the award-winning company from a standard planning and design firm to one that is entrenched in Experience Design. With her process-driven concept and a taste for the extraordinary, she is dedicated to the mission of changing the conversation around how celebrations are planned and executed. Her electric personality and high levels of energy are contagious, whether she’s taking the stage at an industry event or hitting the dance floor (which she frequents weekly). She is passionate about creating a sense of community and opening up conversations, which has served her well for connecting with peers in an industry that is always evolving. Kimberly’s commitment to clients, guests and the industry has led to a number of recognitions for Something Fabulous. She and her team have been honored with NACE awards for design and planning services each year. Something Fabulous has also been recognized as one of the Top 25 Best Women-Owned Businesses by Working Mother Magazine, Top 14 Best Event Design, Planning Companies in Metro DC by PartySlate and was recognized as one of the top 1,000 people in events by BizBash.
