The Silicon Valley chapter of IABC is your premier source for professional development and networking opportunities. Our chapter holds events each month that are open to the public.
Professional development events usually take place either during the lunchtime and networking events take place after work hours. Our events are conveniently located in the South Bay or Peninsula and are often hosted at local restaurants or on corporate campuses.
While the events are locally produced, our speakers are world-class and IABC members enjoy a generous discount of up to 40% off the standard price.
We also offer sponsorship opportunities to those companies interested in increased visibility. Sponsorship benefits include recognition, co-promotion and distribution of materials.
If you are interested in speaking or hosting an event, please contact Marie Highby at mhighby@gmail.com.
