The APA-IL was excited to invite Illinois planners and allied professionals for three days of learning in the heart of Chicago. Attendees explored the largest historic redevelopment in the country: The Old Post Office! Being at The Old Post Office meant #APAIL22 not only offered traditional sessions but also served as a launch pad for exciting mobile workshops throughout Chicago.
