Covid-19 Update and a Word About Meeting Logistics . . .  (12/31/2021)  At the present time, we are planning for an in-person conference.  IDS is committed to providing a safe meeting environment for all of our attendees.  PLEASE NOTE that Cook County is now requiring proof of vaccination to attend events at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center (as well as a number of other venues).  In addition, face masks will be required.  The convention center ballrooms are quite spacious with upgraded air handling systems, so appropriate "social distancing" will be possible in our meeting rooms.  If there are any changes to the format for this meeting, we contact all of our registered guests, as well as posting that information on this webpage.  Thank you!
