Chilled Elevate 2024 Conference

This October the Telegraph Visuals team spent four fun-filled days in downtown Louisville photographing the Chilled Magazine Elevate 2024 conference. The top 100 bartenders in North America were invited to experience all the best that Louisville’s bar and restaurant scene has to offer, and we were there capturing photography of the whole thing. From educational seminars at the Galt House Hotel, to distillery visits at Rabbit Hole in Nulu and Four Roses in Lawrenceburg, we were there every step of the way. Events included dinners around town at places like Bar Vetti and Noche, and after parties at The Olmsted and Captain’s Quarters. 

To the team at Chilled Magazine, thank you for choosing us to be your photographer and video team as you celebrated Kentucky and our rich bourbon scene.

P.S. Keep an eye out for a full photo spread in Chilled Magazine early next year.
