Hosted by McDonald’s Corporation, at their brand-new global headquarters, this executive-level conference features an impressive array of corporate creative leaders sharing their strategies for organizational and operational success.

The IHAF Leadership Summit is lauded as the premier networking and learning opportunity for in-house agency executives—and we’re eagerly counting down the days until we converge in Chicagoland for a festival of sharing, learning and connecting with some of the best in the business.

In addition to the keynotes featured above, we’ll also hear from McDonald’s very own, Matt Croft, who will walk through the steps his team is taking to evolve their capabilities and client relationships. From there, attendees will enjoy a VIP tour of McDonald’s nine-story, state-of-the-art facility where we’ll peruse the Employee Café and numerous collaborative workspaces, peek in on the McDonald’s test kitchen, where new sandwiches and sauces are born, and stride by legendary Hamburger University, where over 80,000 restaurant managers have been trained since 1961.

Following the tour, event goers will enjoy cocktails and conversation at a special closing reception overlooking the Windy City. So, as temperatures in Chicago begin to rise, we’re raising the bar with a menu that’s sure to satisfy!

If you haven’t yet registered for the IHAF Leadership Summit, there are still a few seats left. And, if you’re traveling in from out of town, be sure to take advantage of our special room rate at Virgin Hotels Chicago. We look forward to seeing you there.
