In 2026, the ILEA Live Annual Conference comes to Chicago. This year’s theme is “Creating Futures” which celebrates what it means to bring experiences to life, to move audiences, inspire connection, and live your craft with passion and purpose.
The ILEA 2026 Program Committee is seeking innovative voices, fresh perspectives, and thought-provoking topics that reflect the creativity and evolution of the live events profession. If you have an idea that challenges the norm, celebrates innovation, or helps others elevate their event practice, we want to hear from you.
Submit your session and/or speaker proposal below to be considered for inclusion in the 2026 conference program.
