I’m excited to share that the 2023 “Illinois Makers Box” was such a success that we are going to repeat the project annually!

This year, the “Illinois Makers Box” will again be given to attendees at the IMA Annual Luncheon, to be held on Friday, December 6, 2024, at the Chicago Marriott Magnificent Mile, that always draws a great crowd of hundreds of business and political leaders.

Our goal is to showcase our amazing Illinois manufacturing sector by providing an “Illinois Makers Box” annually that will be full of Illinois-made products or products representative of Illinois’ iconic manufacturing companies. It could be food or beverage, flags, hats, water bottles, replica products, or something similar.

If your company has something appropriate that reflects the great and incredible variety of products made in Illinois, and you are willing to donate 800 of these items to the IMA, please complete the form below by July 1 to assist us with early planning. We’ll try to use every product offered, but size and logistics considerations may prevent us from using everything. If you submit your information, we’ll be in touch to discuss details.

Thank you again for your continued support of the IMA, and for continuing to make great things right here in Illinois.
