Gulf Coast Growth Show, Tara Wilson, Eventsia Group & Vice Chair of Industry Outreach, HLSR ICC
Friday, 6 February, 2026
In this episode of the Gulf Coast Growth Show, hosts Jason Lee and Zeke Smith sit down with Tara Wilson, Founder of Eventsia Group and Vice Chair of Industry Outreach for the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo Industrial Craft Competition (ICC). Tara shares how the ICC is building a powerful pipeline into the industrial construction industry through hands-on, project-based training in fabrication, safety, project management, and more—impacting over 2,400 students and helping place 50+ students into industry jobs each year. We also explore how industry leaders can get involved through mentoring, judging, and sponsorship, plus a look ahead at the 21 student team projects on display during the Rodeo (March 2–22 at NRG) and the ICC Live Competition on April 18 at Texas State Technical College in Rosenberg. Tara wraps up by reflecting on leadership, mentorship, career growth, and a proud personal milestone as her kids step into their own paths.
