IFDA Convention

Jun 24-26, 2008

Renaissance Hotel & Convention Center, Schaumburg, IL

Welcome to our 128th Annual Convention! This year we are at the beautiful Renaissance Hotel & Conference Center in Schaumburg, Illinois for the first time. Our convention will feature over 70 exhibitors from all areas of the profession. We will also be offering 15˝ hours of continuing education credit.

This year our social events include a Tuesday evening opening party on the exhibit floor that features a "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" theme. We hope you will also join us Wednesday evening for our President's Party, featuring the improv group The Comedy Shrine. Attendance at both of these parties is free for all convention registrants and exhibitors. And don't worry—there's still plenty of time to get out and about. We've planned our social events this year to allow you time to explore the beautiful cities of Schaumburg and Chicago.

This year's popular speakers include the team of Kizer & Bender, who will give you a consumer's view of funeral service; Elaine Hand on hiring the right employees; marketing expert Ron Rosenberg on marketing secrets and how to improve your memory; and embalming expert and Illinois native Jack Adams.

So please join us for our Convention. We think this is a great opportunity to network with your peers as well as make new friends. There is sure to be something for everyone. We look forward to seeing you there!
