Annual Luncheon

Join us for the Illinois Manufacturers’ Association’s 132nd Annual Luncheon on Friday, December 12, 2025 in Chicago—at our new location, the Sheraton Grand Chicago Riverwalk.

This is the IMA’s premier event of the year and sells out every year. More than 750 business leaders and elected officials will attend, so don't wait to register or sponsor!

We'll have a dynamic and exciting keynote address, award the prestigious Barry L. MacLean Manufacturer of the Year award to a best-in-class company, recognize a female leader with the Janice M. Christiansen Leadership Award, honor companies celebrating milestone anniversaries, and announce the team and individual winners of Manufacturing Miles.  

Outstanding breakout sessions will be hosted virtually during the week.
