See below for what the 2024 ILF Annual Conference has to offer.
Event Details
When: November 17-19, 2024
Where: The Crowne Plaza Downtown Union Station
The Crowne Plaza is a historic hotel that offers over 55,000 sq ft of event space for up to 2,500 people. The Grand Hall Ballroom features stunning wheel windows and a barrel ceiling of original stained glass. Walk back in time as you encounter remnants of WWI, such as the wheel windows that were blacked out to disguise them during war, that still appear grey-tinted today.
Originally the first Union Station built in the U.S. in 1888, each section of the over 100-year-old building has been converted into stunning spaces. Each area transcends a time gone and passed, yet still rich in acclaimed history.
