The IASB Joint Annual Conference is a statewide education governance conference that brings school board members, district administrators, and education leaders together for workshops, policy sessions, and networking at the Hyatt Regency Chicago. Organized by the Illinois Association of School Boards in partnership with other state education associations, the event focuses on governance, finance, student services, and professional development for K–12 decision-makers. It serves as one of Illinois’s primary forums for shaping local school policy and sharing best practices across districts.
