Mark your calendar for September 5-7, 2012, when the 12th annual IRDC convenes in Chicago, at the Renaissance Downtown Hotel.

Perched next to the Chicago River on the north end of the Loop, just three blocks from the Magnificent Mile, the Renaissance boasts some of the best views of Chicago’s world-class architecture. See for yourself in the hotel’s Photo Gallery.

Program planning for 2012 is already underway, and we’ll begin announcing details via this newsletter in March. Until then, all of us at IRDC wish you a safe, happy and robust new year!
