🚨⚠️ In true event industry fashion… we’ve made a strategic pivot!

Our ILEA Dallas Learning Lounge originally scheduled for Monday, February 16, 2026 has officially been moved to Monday, March 16, 2026.

Same brilliance. Same networking. Same “why didn’t I think of that?!” moments.

Just… 30 days more fabulous. 😉

Please adjust your calendars, notify your planners, alert your assistants, and maybe even update that color-coded Google Calendar.

We can’t wait to see you on March 16th — because great education (and great events) are always worth the reschedule!

✨ Rise & Connect Recap ✨

What a night! Thank you to all of our amazing members who joined us for Rise & Connect at Jose’s on Lovers on Monday, January 19, 2026. The room was full of meaningful conversations, new connections, and that unmistakable ILEA Dallas energy. 🤝💜

Between the lively networking and indulging in short ribs, queso, guac, and fresh tortilla chips, it was the perfect setting to connect and unwind together.

A huge thank you to Jose’s on Lovers for sponsoring the evening and providing such a welcoming (and delicious!) space for our community.

Here’s to building relationships, sharing ideas, and staying connected. ✨
