ILEA ATL Roadshow Recap

A huge thank you to our incredible partners who brought the Atlanta Roadshow to life! WM Events for hosting us in their stunning space, Occasional Occasions by Carlton for the delicious bites, and Innov8 for seamless AV support and imagery by Jack Parada Photography. Gratitude to our powerhouse panel—Christopher Fitzpatrick, Helen Taffet, Leigh Simpson, and Martin Collins—expertly moderated by Lucas Mendieta, and to Steve Moore for serving as the gracious host! It was an inspiring evening filled with meaningful conversations, fresh perspectives, and the kind of connection that keeps our industry moving forward.

The Roadshows are presented with support from the Timothy S.Y. Lam Foundation: Advancing hospitality through education, scholarships, and research that blends academic insight with real-world expertise.
