This year's conference will be held August 6-8 at the Summit Executive Centre in Chicago.

The IFVP Board and Conference Team are excited about the changes for this years conference.

Holding the conference earlier will give you a great view of Chicago in the summertime. We also hope that we're coinciding with the summer slowdown of projects that many of us independent contractors experience.

Our Wednesday through Friday conference dates encourages taking the weekend to explore the Windy City. We'll update this page with suggestions on how to make the most out of your trip to Chicago.

Also, the Summit Executive Centre couldn't be better located to enjoy downtown Chicago. Located on Michigan Avenue, it's on the South end of the "Magnificent Mile." It is less than two blocks from Millennium Park, the Chicago Cultural Center and six blocks from the Art Institute of Chicago. That's just the tip of the iceberg.
