Association Solutions client the International Live Events Association (ILEA) successfully hosted ILEA Live 2021, a dynamic virtual production of ILEA’s signature annual event, on August 10-12. Organized around the theme “Embracing Transformation,” ILEA Live offered a program of connection and collaboration — including inspiring general session presentations from champion Paralympic snowboarder Michelle Salt, the National Events Council’s Andrew Roby, and LGBTQ+ wedding specialist Chanda Daniels; nine breakout sessions on a variety of hot-button industry topics; and sponsor and partner talks. And, because the event was presented on Allseated exVo, an immersive virtual platform, attendees could network and socialize with ease — including participating in an after-hours SEARCH From Home event and a closing celebration that featured a dueling pianos performance. ILEA Live was followed by the ILEA Esprit Awards Celebration on August 13, honoring recipients of ILEA’s prestigious Esprit Awards, which recognize creativity and innovation in event design, production, and execution.

Congratulations to the ILEA team for creating a live event that wowed the live events people!
