Events

The Airport Foundation MSP is known for signature events that bring together members of the MSP Airport Community.

Each summer, the Foundation hosts its annual Golf Tournament, an afternoon of networking and teambuilding for business partners across the Twin Cities and the Airport Community.

The Airport Foundation MSP also hosts the annual State of the Airport event, one of the premiere business luncheons in the Twin Cities. The event brings together more than 600 local business and civic leaders to gain insights on the national air travel industry and the latest developments at MSP airport, one of the most influential drivers of the local community.

In addition, at least twice yearly, the Airport Foundation MSP hosts receptions to mark the opening of key exhibitions in the Arts@MSP program.

Marketing & Communications

The Marketing & Communications team partners with Volunteer Programs, Arts@MSP and Foundation Administration to develop and execute comprehensive Marketing and Communications campaigns.

Examples of the Marketing & Communications team are the Airport Foundation MSP website, social media, presentations, event planning and event execution. 

The team serves a storytelling mission to educate and inform stakeholders of the value of the Foundation and the benefits it provides by elevating the travel experience and supporting the Aviation Community.

The team also coordinates with their Strategic Marketing counterparts at the Metropolitan Airports Commission (MAC) to align on message of key activations that benefit MSP travelers and their internal clients.
