RECAP: LOU|LEX Get Connected at Greenside Pizzeria

February 19, 2026 | Greenside Pizzeria | 901 E Main St, Louisville, KY 40206

Love was in the air—and so was the smell of fresh pizza—at the IIDA LOU/LEX Get Connected event hosted at the newly opened Greenside Pizzeria in Louisville, Kentucky.

The evening welcomed designers, industry professionals, and creatives for a relaxed night filled with engaging conversations. Over delicious slices and drinks, attendees had the chance to meet new faces, reconnect with familiar ones, and deepen the relationships that continue to shape and support our design community.

Centered around a Valentine’s theme, guests were invited to write love letters to IIDA—expressing their appreciation for the opportunities and support the organization provides. This heartfelt activity added a thoughtful and personal touch to the evening, highlighting the strong sense of connection that defines IIDA.

We extend a sincere thank you to our sponsors, KFI Studios and Stinson, whose generous support helped make this event possible. We are grateful for their partnership and continued commitment to fostering the design community throughout the LouLex region.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and made the night such a success. Your openness and willingness to connect are what make these gatherings truly special. We're grateful to celebrate this community with you and look forward to many more evenings filled with shared ideas, creative energy, and lasting connections.
