Next week, ABI will hold its 120th annual convention, the 2023 Taking Care of Business Conference. We are excited to host over 500 ABI members in Cedar Rapids next Tuesday-Thursday.
For three days, ABI members from all over Iowa and beyond will come together for business, social, and networking activities. Golf and other activities, followed by a welcome reception at EASTBANK Venue, will mark the start of the convention. Two fabulous keynote speakers, Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds, and breakout sessions will mark the second day. That evening, the Chair’s Dinner and Reception will be held at The HarMac. Be sure to check out the signature cocktail as you event, and visit the rooftop patio and bar. It will be unlike anything ABI members have seen before. The annual ABI Foundation Auction, in a silent format only this year and with some spectacular items up for bid, will end that evening.
