Become a Corporate Sponsor
* Support ASHRAE’s Illinois Chapter mission in 2026-2027 while promoting your business
The Illinois Chapter ASHRAE will host monthly meetings, educational, technical and social activities during the year. These events bring together hundreds from the Chicago area’s premier HVAC&R community — systems designers, consulting engineers, contractors, teachers, government officials, and manufacturers' representatives. As a sponsor, your company will not only provide vital support for these activities but also help fund ongoing chapter-level scholarship and ASHRAE's research efforts aimed at advancing tomorrow’s HVAC&R engineers and technology. Sponsors receive exposure and special recognition on the chapter website, at events during the year and in communications received by members of ASHRAE’s largest chapter.
For more information, email [email protected]. The Illinois Chapter ASHRAE would like to thank you in advance for your support.
* The 2026-27 Illinois Chapter year extends from July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027

2027 Winter Conference Sponsorship
We are actively seeking YOUR HELP to support the multitude Chapter events and activities occurring for the 2027 ASHRAE Winter Meeting from January 23-27, 2027 in Chicago!
The ASHRAE Winter Conference is an annual conference that rotates cities and is held in Chicago every 3 years. Mechanical contractors, manufacturer’s representatives, controls contractors, and various engineers locally and abroad attend to learn from technical presentations and updates in research, participate on technical committees to advance our industry, network and socialize with peers and colleagues, and enjoy several scheduled events curated by the host committee.
The Welcome Party is the first major event of the conference and will be held at the Carnivale (702 W Fulton St) on January 23rd. Here, attendees sign up to get a taste of Chicago’s charm and kickoff the conference. Approximately 700 ASHRAE members will attend to mix and mingle with their peers in an inviting setting with food and drinks. Space is limited and the event always sells out!
Following the Welcome Party, the Illinois Chapter will be hosting an After Party to keep the excitement going at Punch Bowl Social (310 N Green St)! The entire bar is typically reserved exclusively for ASHRAE Members. This event typically sees about 100-150 attendees.
The Illinois Chapter of ASHRAE will once again be hosting a Hospitality Suite for Illinois Chapter members during the ASHRAE Winter Meeting at the Marriot Marquee. The suite will provide local members a place to relax between sessions, and it will be open from Saturday through Wednesday morning. Over 500 local Illinois ASHRAE members will traffic through this space during the conference and will be an excellent opportunity for you and your company to advertise!
Tuesday Night is Member’s Night Out and the last major event of the conference. Approximately 500 Members and their guests register to enjoy live music and entertainment. Connect with your colleagues for one last night before the end of the conference.
Are these sponsorships not of interest to your organization? There are several other ways to support the Winter Meeting and get recognition for your support. The full list of additional opportunities for sponsorship and recognition are in the table below.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions. With your help, we will be able to make all of these events a tremendous success during the 2027 ASHRAE Winter Meeting!
All sponsorship levels will be recognized on the Illinois ASHRAE Website.
