Kent Callison (he/him/his)

Director of Marketing and Communications
GameTime, a PlayCore Company
Chattanooga, Tennessee

Kent Callison is the Director of Marketing and Communications for GameTime and a PlayCore Master Trainer with the Center for Outreach, Research, and Education (CORE). He’s trained thousands on how to design parks that move people—literally and emotionally. A frequent speaker at national conferences, state symposiums, and industry workshops, Kent blends real-world insight with real-human energy. His sessions tackle big topics like inclusive design, outdoor fitness, and nature-based play, all delivered with a storyteller’s charm and a strategist’s mind. If it happens in a park and brings people together, Kent’s probably got a smart (and slightly provocative) take on it.
