Don’t miss the learning, networking and fun:
Early registration ends May 25 for 2012 IABC World Conference.
Sunday, June 24 has been proclaimed IABC Day in Chicago – offering a warm Chicago welcome to the more than 1,400 business communicators from 40 countries who will attend the International Association of Business Communicators (IABC) World Conference at the Sheraton Chicago Hotel and Towers, 301 E. North Waters St., on June 24-27.
“We’re fortunate that this year’s IABC World Conference is taking place in our own backyard, allowing Chicagoans to network and learn from so many of the world’s brightest communications pros,” said Ken Groh, president, IABC/Chicago. “We expect quite a turnout from IABC members and nonmembers alike, because the value is so compelling.”
Another date to remember: Friday, May 25 is the last day for early registration savings. Other opportunities for registration savings include a $100 discount (each) when you register with two or more other people from your organization. Not an IABC member? “Join and Go” for just $25 more than the nonmember rate. Or, just register for a single day.
The conference will offer more than 70 professional development sessions that feature the latest developments and best practices in communication leadership, public relations, change management, employee communication, strategy and counsel, marketing/brand communication and skills development. Speakers continue to be added, and include keynote addresses by noted environmental activist Robert F. Kennedy and best-selling author Kevin Carroll.
Social events include a “Give the Gift of Communication” community service project on Saturday, June 23, a walking architectural tour and a Chicago photo walk on Sunday, June 24, complimentary yoga classes, and a “Dine-Around” that matches Chicago and out-of-town communicators on Tuesday, June 26.
