The 2026 breakfast is on 4 December at the Swissotel Chicago on East Wacker Drive, running from a 7am coffee reception to closing remarks at 9.50am. It brings together interior designers, architects, manufacturers and clients from across the city.<\/p>\n<p>The programme centres on a keynote speaker, described by the organisers as motivational and thought-provoking, with the presentation of the Leadership Award of Excellence and recognition of an Emerging Leader from the IIDA membership. Individual tickets are $275 for IIDA members and $350 for non-members, with half tables of five at $1,700 and full tables of ten at $3,300. A $150 student sponsor ticket funds a student&#8217;s place. MillerKnoll is the international benefactor and Interior Design the media partner.<\/p>\n<p>For Chicago interior designers, the breakfast is the city&#8217;s main end-of-year gathering of commercial interiors leadership, and the table bookings are a reliable map of which practices and manufacturers are active locally. For product reps, it is a seated room full of specifiers before 10am.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>IIDA&#8217;s annual breakfast for Chicago&#8217;s commercial interiors community at the Swissotel, with a keynote speaker and the presentation of the Leadership Award of Excellence<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":18665,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_seopress_titles_title":"","_seopress_titles_desc":"","_seopress_robots_index":"","_seopress_robots_follow":"","_seopress_robots_imageindex":"","_seopress_robots_snippet":"","_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"none","_seopress_robots_breadcrumbs":"","_seopress_robots_freeze_modified_date":"","_seopress_robots_custom_modified_date":"","_seopress_robots_canonical":"","_seopress_social_fb_title":"","_seopress_social_fb_desc":"","_seopress_social_fb_img":"","_seopress_social_fb_img_attachment_id":0,"_seopress_social_fb_img_width":0,"_seopress_social_fb_img_height":0,"_seopress_social_twitter_title":"","_seopress_social_twitter_desc":"","_seopress_social_twitter_img":"","_seopress_social_twitter_img_attachment_id":0,"_seopress_social_twitter_img_width":0,"_seopress_social_twitter_img_height":0,"_seopress_redirections_value":"","_seopress_redirections_enabled":"","_seopress_redirections_enabled_regex":"","_seopress_redirections_logged_status":"both","_seopress_redirections_param":"","_seopress_redirections_type":301,"_seopress_analysis_target_kw":"","_seopress_news_disabled":"","_seopress_video_disabled":"","_seopress_video":[],"_seopress_pro_schemas_manual":[],"_seopress_pro_rich_snippets_disable_all":"","_seopress_pro_rich_snippets_disable":[],"_seopress_pro_schemas":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[19,43,45,54,81],"tags":[],"location":[113],"class_list":["post-18664","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-events","category-industry","category-interior-design-events","category-networking-and-social-events","category-us-events","location-chicago"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bespokecareers.com\/af-api\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18664","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bespokecareers.com\/af-api\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bespokecareers.com\/af-api\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bespokecareers.com\/af-api\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bespokecareers.com\/af-api\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=18664"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.bespokecareers.com\/af-api\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18664\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":18666,"href":"https:\/\/www.bespokecareers.com\/af-api\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18664\/revisions\/18666"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bespokecareers.com\/af-api\/wp\/v2\/media\/18665"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bespokecareers.com\/af-api\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=18664"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bespokecareers.com\/af-api\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=18664"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bespokecareers.com\/af-api\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=18664"},{"taxonomy":"location","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bespokecareers.com\/af-api\/wp\/v2\/location?post=18664"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
