COVID-19 and the IABC World Conference

By IABC Headquarters | Apr 22, 2020

The IABC World Conference will take place 14–17 June 2020 at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in downtown Chicago.

As the safety and well-being of our attendees is our highest priority, we are closely monitoring the evolution of the COVID-19 virus, also known as “coronavirus.” Our event planning follows the guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), local and state public health authorities, and U.S. State Department travel advisories.

We also are working with our event and industry partners in Chicago to ensure we have the broadest array of safeguards in place for our attendees this June. Additional details and recommendations for attendees will be published as the event dates approach.
