AITP Region 5 Conference

WHEN

Thursday, May 14, 2009 - 8:00am - Friday, May 15, 2009 - 8:00am

WHERE

Sheraton Chicago Northwest Arlington Heights, Illinois

AITP Windy City Chapter is proud to host the 2009 Region 5 Spring Conference at Sheraton Chicago Northwest in Arlington Heights, Illinois on May 14 & 15, 2009. With outstanding support from area vendors, organizations and members, the event is shaping up to offer the Region exceptional opportunities for education, networking and entertainment.

In addition to 2 training classes, 10 breakout sessions, a CIO presentation at the Thursday dinner and a CIO Panel Friday morning, we have now added Terry Savage, well known author and financial columnist, as our keynote speaker for Friday’s luncheon. See attached for the full schedule and sign up early to reserve a spot. As many of you know we had to turn away 20-30 people away at the door who hadn’t registered at our February meeting downtown that featured a CIO panel.

It’s very hard to beat the value – the $35 registration fee for AITP members and $50 fee for non-members covers all of the breakout sessions, the CIO forum and the keynote luncheon. The Thursday morning training classes and the Thursday dinner require additional charges.
