Fall Conference 2008

In the fall, IACCE executives and staff come together for one large conference for three days.  Traditionally during the beginning of November, the conference travels around the state to different locations.  Local, regional and national guest speakers offer insight into some of today's most pressing issues including board relations, non-dues revenue, HR, political issues, and much more.  In addition, conference attendees can network with other chamber executives and staff from Illinois and surrounding states as well as meet vendors from across the US.
