Please join us for our kick-off networking event for the 2011-2012 year –  Registration is now open.

Breaking news: 2011-2012 IABC Chairman Adrian Cropley will be in Los Angeles and attending! Come along if you’re interested in meeting this global ambassador for business communications or want to quiz him on the state of the profession in other parts of the country, other parts of the world. I’ve met Adrian a few times at IABC events (Leadership Institute, World Conference) and not only is he talented and insightful, he’s fun and engaging – one of those people it’s a delight to be around. – Paula (IABC LA Chapter President 2011-2012)

This is one of 2 “Thank-You-For-Being-a-Member” events that the Los Angeles Chapter organizes each year (Pasadena/Burbank in September, South Bay in January/February). If you’re a member, it’s free of charge, venue, appetizers, drink tickets included. If you’re not a member but want to network with local business communicators, you’re warmly welcomed, too, and we’ve kept the price reasonable.

We will have networking activities, several prizes to give away, and as always, a collegial, inclusive atmosphere (the reason so many of us keep coming back).
