Business Day 2026

May 12, 2026 12:00 AM - 12:00 AM (CDT)

Description

On Tuesday, May 12th, 2026, IRMA and the Illinois Manufacturers’ Association will once again host Business Day in Springfield. Join us for the largest gathering of employers at the Capitol! Business Day is your chance to speak face-to-face with lawmakers about legislation impacting retail. It is vital that Illinois policy makers continue to hear the voice of the employer community, and we need your support and involvement to make Business Day possible. Please consider participating as a sponsor for this year’s Business Day activities. Click here to review our sponsorship opportunities. Contact Brynne Scott to secure your sponsorship at 217-544-1003. Don’t miss the legendary “Party Under the Tent” Business Day begins with a luncheon and keynote address. As always, the day will end with an evening that has become the ‘can’t miss’ event in Springfield. The Party Under the Tent rounds out the day complete with food, drink, and live music. Held from 5:00 – 8:00 p.m., you are likely to run into members of the General Assembly, Governor’s office, staff, colleagues and friends.
