Special Interest Groups are for like-minded members who have a passion or specialty in a focused area of communications. Each group usually meets monthly in a casual setting to discuss latest trends and case studies or even to collaborate on short-term projects. SIGs are a great way to get to know your fellow IABCers and because SIGs are participatory, you’ll both share and learn. To view upcoming SIG events, click here.
