While December days turn frigid outside, the scene indoors will be warm and bright when the most cherished holidays of the year offer chances to gather with co-workers, associates, family and friends. Get your celebration going early at the Illinois Chapter’s annual Holiday Party.

Enjoy unlimited beverages, plenty of delicious food and lots of holiday cheer to celebrate the season. Listen to a live band perform your favorite holiday tunes. Take in the fantastic view of the city from the 66^th floor of Willis Tower.

At the Holiday Party, we'll also celebrate 2026’s Excellence in Engineering Technology Award winners. The evening will include an award ceremony to recognize some of the Chicago area’s finest achievements by HVAC design engineers. The winners will be introduced and their projects displayed. Please join everyone for this very special reception, planned for 4 – 8 p.m. inside the Metropolitan Club’s Oak Room. Come with a group or by yourself. We have a great afternoon and evening in store. (If we can assist you with a group reservation, please email [email protected].)

Make your reservation early and head over to Chicago's tallest building, Willis Tower, 233 S. Wacker Drive, on Tuesday afternoon, December 8th.  The more the merrier! So don’t miss out.
