For the first time since 1992, the Society of American Business Editors and Writers will conduct its annual spring conference in Chicago.

The dates: April 23-25, 2015, at the Hyatt Magnificent Mile Hotel. The spring conference is SABEW’s largest and most important event of the year.

“It’s been more than 20 years and we’re delighted to be back in one of America’s most exciting cities, an important journalism and financial hub,” said Warren Watson, executive director.

Although SABEW has held education events in Chicago throughout its 51 years, this will be only the third time the spring event will be held in the city.

Its first Chicago conference was in May 1976. The organization also did a conference in late April 1992.

But Chicago has made a special place in SABEW history. Numerous regional events covering personal finance, technology and reporting and writing have been held in the city. The most recent was a special symposium on the business of health care in November 2013.
