This year we are anticipating attendance of over 2,000 tradeswomen and their allies at the Hyatt Regency at McCormick Place, which is not only the largest convention center in the country, but a venue many tradeswomen had a hand in building over the years.Co-sponsored by Chicago Women in Trades and North America’s Building Trades Unions, last year’s conference was the first to have been held outside California. With a record-breaking attendance of 1,600 tradeswomen in attendance in 2016, the Women Build Nations National Planning Committee decided to hold its 2017 Women Build Conference in Chicago one more year before the conference returns to the West Coast in 2018. If you attended last year, you know what a tremendous opportunity this is for our region to show case our accomplishments, as well as recognize the contributions and continuing challenges of our hard-working tradeswomen and demonstrate support for their leadership and advancement. We hope you will partner with us to ensure that all tradeswomen have the opportunity to benefit from what promises to be the largest ever convening of tradeswomen. We encourage you to participate in this extraordinarily productive event by attending, sponsoring, and or securing a booth.
