Join industry colleagues at IARA’s 18th Annual Summer Roundtable as we return to Chicago, IL. Our host hotel, The Sheraton Grand, is located on the Chicago Riverwalk and puts you within walking distance of popular locations such as Navy Pier, Millennium Park, Michigan Avenue Shopping and other points of interest.
You’ll notice that we’ve condensed our program this year, keeping your days away to a minimum, but packing these two days full of information, sharing ideas and insights for your continued improvement.
Wednesday begins with our Committee Meetings where we hope you’ll become engaged as we map out plans for the continued growth of IARA. Wednesday evening hosts a joint appreciation and recognition dinner for our Committee Chairs and Co-Chairs and our CAR Graduates. If you fall into either category, please make plans to attend – if you do not, this is a great opportunity for you to organize plans with other colleagues or your clients in the area.
