Set Sail Through the Windy City This conference will be held Sunday through Wednesday, a departure from FGIA's typical conference schedule due to scheduling limitations post-COVID. The theme will be "Chicago Spirit – Set Sail Through the Windy City!" With that theme in mind, in-person event participants will have the opportunity to network on Sunday during an architecture riverboat cruise, where guides will share stories behind more than 50 buildings along the Chicago River. This tour is within walking distance from the Fairmont Chicago, where the conference will be held. On Monday, all participants are invited to an additional cruise on Lake Michigan that is perfectly timed with the sunset. Attendees will see iconic buildings light up the Chicago skyline and enjoy dinner onboard the vessel as part of the conference experience.
"As an association based in Illinois, we are excited to bring our membership 'home' to Chicago for the first time in several years," said Florica Vlad, FGIA Meetings Manager. "Come experience the best of the Windy City this fall! Be sure to bring your Chicago spirit for the sunset dinner cruise by wearing your favorite Chicago-themed clothing Monday night."
