IABC/Chicago holds professional development events throughout the year, including our recently added hot topic sessions called Coffee Club. Our monthly luncheons became webinars during the pandemic, and we look forward to bringing back in-person events in the near future. We also look forward to hosting events for special interest groups as we recruit more volunteer leaders. In accordance with its mission, IABC/Chicago seeks to provide area communicators opportunities to network, learn and keep up-to-date on communication best practices.
Event Options – Follow us on LinkedIn or Eventbrite for the most up-to-date event information.

Coffee Clubs are held several times a year and offer an informal discussion on hot topics impacting the comms field. This member-only activity is offered in the morning. Watch for details on upcoming sessions on our main page.
Monthly Programs, Noon time luncheons and remote
Monthly programs in the form of networking, webinars or a luncheon are held several times a year from September through May (we take a little break over the summer as the board transitions). These events allow members, non-members and students to learn from a communications expert or panel in an hour-long session. During the pandemic, we shifted to online sessions and continue our cadence of monthly events. Watch for more information on upcoming activities as we transition back to a regular cadence of programming once again.
If you have a topic of interest, a case study to share, or would like to volunteer to help plan our professional development activities, please reach out to a member of the board.
