Note that our CLE programs are held on Tuesdays, Wednesdays or Thursdays.  If included in your sponsorship level and you would like to do a repeat of your program, please indicate that in your proposal as well.  Please remember the repeat program must be presented in the same calendar week as the original program.

While we make every effort to schedule programs at your preferred times, please note the following:

(1)             ACC Chicago will schedule sponsors in order of sponsorship level (Diamond, Platinum, Gold,  Silver, and then individual program opportunities), and then in order of application receipt; and

(2)             ACC Chicago will seek to avoid scheduling two CLE programs from different sponsors within the same week. 

(3)             Notwithstanding the foregoing, ACC Chicago may attempt to fill its calendar of programs based upon sponsor scheduling preferences to the extent possible or to the extent needed to address other scheduling concerns.

This is done to maximize attendance at your event, but note as a result, it may take us some time before we are able to schedule your program.(Required.)
