CHICAGO
PCMA’s 59th annual Convening Leaders conference is in full swing in Chicago, drawing more than 4,000 attendees, according to preliminary estimates.
While the association typically does not release preliminary attendance figures, the estimate points to a highly attended event, perhaps owing to an improving economy, its location in the third-largest city in the U.S., and that it is being held in the headquarters city of PCMA.
Carrying the theme “Make No Little Plans,” the annual conference serves as a laboratory of sorts for its meeting planner attendees, who will experience a variety of new meeting formats and ideas over the four-day event at the McCormick Place West convention center.
New this year, further serving its mission to be an education-focused event, PCMA is making recordings of select sessions available free of charge on its website (www.PCMA.org) for 60 days, after which time there will be a charge for viewing. CEU credits are available.
Additional content is also available as part of a live stream from the conference.
