The Boston chapter of the International Live Events Association (ILEA) was founded in 1988. We conduct monthly program meetings at various venues in the greater Boston area generally on the third Tuesday of the month. The meetings feature vendor-sponsored refreshments which are served while members and their guests informally network with one another to discuss and promote their business. Then, an educational guest speaker addresses the gathering on a current topic key to the industry. Finally, each meeting is capped off by dessert, coffee, and more networking. ILEA members receive a discount on the admission charge for the meeting. ILEA Boston continually seeks to expand its membership base so as to offer a wider array of services for the benefit of its members.
