This year we are hosting a half day networking event at Northwestern University on September 30, 2016. In an effort to build and strengthen the APRA-IL community, our program this year emphasizes providing space and time to collaborate, share and learn from your fellow members and attendees.

We will have three tracks for participants to choose from; Prospect Research, Prospect Management, or Data Analytics. Each track will have activities and conversation geared towards the issues and the topics of interest to those participating.   

Registrations Ends on September 27th.
