Katie Suty
Senior Events Manager, Experience Columbus
ILEA Member for: 4 years
Favorite ILEA Experience: At ILEA Live in New Orleans a few years ago they organized a parade for the group to travel to our evening event. There was a New Orleans jazz band leading the way and they shut down streets so we could really feel the Mardi Gras experience.

Specer Saylor
Event Planner, Metro Cuisine
ILEA Member for: 1 year
Favorite ILEA Experience: The 'behind-the-scenes' tour of the Beyonce & Jay-Z show set-up at Ohio Stadium. This was one of the first things that I was able to experience as a member and it instantly highlighted one of the many benefits of being a part of ILEA in Columbus! Seeing venues and events in ways that the public cannot, has been insightful and interesting as both an event professional and someone who enjoys attending live events.
