Zhanna Yagafarova Announces Launch of Taelas, a Curated Gifting Platform for Event Professionals

Hospitality and event industry specialist Zhanna Yagafarova has announced the upcoming launch of Taelas, a curated gifting platform connecting local American artisans and brands with event organizers, event agencies, and hospitality companies worldwide. Taelas is now opening enrollment for suppliers ahead of its commercial launch.

LOS ANGELES, CA / ACCESS Newswire / July 8, 2026 / Yagafarova brings extensive experience in international hospitality and event management, including hotel projects with Marriott, IHG Hotels & Resorts, and Radisson Hotel Group, as well as work across markets in Eastern Europe, the Caucasus, Central Asia, and the United States.

Taelas addresses a structural gap in the event industry: sourcing gifts that carry an authentic regional story rather than generic souvenir appeal. The platform provides direct access to local artisans and brands, with each supplier profile required to document a verifiable connection to a specific American region. Profiles without this documentation are not published - regional authenticity is a platform requirement, not an optional feature.

"In international events, a gift is not a small detail - it is part of the memory of a place and an event. Finding an item that carries the real story of a region typically requires hours of searching, correspondence, and manual verification," said Zhanna Yagafarova, founder of Taelas. "Taelas shortens this path and makes that connection visible."

For event organizers who require additional support, Taelas offers a personalized curation service in which the platform team assists in identifying artisans and products suited to a specific event, audience, or region. Organizers may choose between independent supplier search and full curatorial support.

The platform is open to companies and organizers within the United States as well as international clients attending conferences, business events, and corporate gatherings in America.
