THE RED THREAD
Ilona’s Birthday Celebration & Networking Evening
Tuesday, November 24, 2026 | 4:00–6:00 PM
SPNN | 550 Vandalia St., Suite 170, Saint Paul, MN
She built her own YES. Now she’s turning the spotlight on YOU.
This year, I decided to celebrate my birthday a little differently.
No, I don't need another birthday party where everyone gathers around to celebrate me. I've had my moments in the spotlight. Now I want to share that spotlight with the people who are building businesses, breaking barriers, creating opportunities, and making things happen.
Welcome to THE RED THREAD.
The red thread represents something powerful: the connections we build, the people who cross our paths, and the relationships that can change the direction of our lives.
Through ILONA TV, I've had the privilege of meeting extraordinary entrepreneurs, leaders, artists, visionaries, and people who refuse to settle for ordinary.
And now, I'm bringing some of those worlds together.
WHAT'S WAITING FOR YOU?
- Meaningful networking with entrepreneurs, business owners, and community leaders
- Professional and mock interview opportunities
- Portrait opportunities
- Music, speeches, and a few surprises
- Your moment at the microphone
- ILONA TV Magazine drawing
- A special gift for every guest
Come prepared to connect, introduce yourself, celebrate your accomplishments, and perhaps meet someone who belongs in your next chapter.
DRESS CODE: RED, WHITE OR BLACK
Wear one color or mix and match all three. Make it elegant. Make it bold. Make it YOURS.
IMPORTANT EVENT DETAILS
Doors open at 3:45 PM.
Please present your Eventbrite ticket upon arrival.
By invitation | Limited seating | Registration required
And one more thing…
Don't come just to collect business cards. Come ready to make connections worth keeping.
This may be my birthday, but the spotlight belongs to all of us.
See you at THE RED THREAD.
