Chances are, you have felt pretty f*ckwithable at some point in your career - the threats of AI, your competitors, the ever-changing events industry, or any of the other ways that your livelihood can be messed with at any time…or so you think. Our speaker Daliah El Gazzar made sure we felt strong and powerful by the end of the night, without a shadow of a doubt!

We gathered for our first chapter meeting of the year at the beautiful View Boston where we were welcomed with the gorgeous panoramic views of the Boston skyline at sunset and a delicious signature mule cocktail. We were treated with yummy bites cooked up by Capers Catering, and all the caffeine we needed provided by Latte Boston. We caught up with our favorite industry peeps - a room more full than it has been since 2021. That in and of itself is pretty epic! Then, we gathered to listen to what our wonderful speaker had to say about Becoming Unf*ckwithable. She covered everything from our superpowers that can never be replaced by AI (such as our empathy, reading the room, pivoting strategy in an instant, etc.), and even ended with a Belly Dance class. Really… who can say they Belly Danced with their industry peers?!

Candle Man Lux made the room feel beautifully moody with their candle displays, Black Diamond Event Production played tunes that literally got us up and dancing at the end of the night, and we also had a blast with the AI Caricature Photo Booth by Memories in an Instant - who were also celebrating 30 years in business!

Seriously…so much jam-packed into our first chapter meeting of the year, so many fun things happening, amazing milestones to celebrate, and infectious energy that got us pumped up to end the year on a high note. Only a feeling that ILEA Boston can create!
