RECAP: LouLex December Sip and Connect at Phalcha

December 19, 2025 | Phalcha Coffee | 3900 Shelbyville Rd, Suite 12 Louisville, KY 40207

IIDA LouLex members gathered at Phalcha for our December Sip and Connect, bringing together members, designers, and industry professionals for a relaxed and welcoming morning of conversation and connection.

Set against the warm, inviting atmosphere of Phalcha, attendees enjoyed coffee, tea, and sweet treats while catching up with colleagues, meeting new faces, and strengthening relationships within our local design community. Sip and Connect events are designed to offer a casual space for meaningful networking, and this December gathering was a wonderful reminder of the value of coming together—especially as we close out the year.

The event created opportunities for designers and industry partners to share ideas, exchange insights, and build connections that continue beyond a single gathering. Whether attendees were longtime IIDA members or joining us for the first time, the morning was filled with thoughtful conversations and a strong sense of community.

We extend a sincere thank you to our sponsors, Thentic Group and Astek, whose support helped make this event possible. We are grateful for their continued partnership and commitment to supporting the design community in the LouLex region.

Thank you to everyone who joined us at Phalcha and helped make our December Sip and Connect such a success. We look forward to continuing to create opportunities for connection, collaboration, and community in the year ahead. Join us at our next Sip and Connect in Lexington on January 30th, 2026!
