Shared Interest Groups (SIG 2.0)
Shared Interest Groups (SIGs) are member-only, collaborative discussion groups designed to create an open forum for the exchange of knowledge and ideas. SIGs meet monthly for 45-60 minutes. The topics are community-driven and interactive, usually with a short 10-minute case study presentation followed by a Q&A-style discussion among attendees.
Members Only
SIGs are only open to active AMA Chicago members. That’s right, these peer-to-peer communities are yet another benefit of membership.
If you are not an active member, join or renew now for $149. You’ll gain free access to SIGs and every monthly event from AMA Chicago ($300+ value), plus professional tools and templates, and many other perks.

SIG 2.0: Application
Complete the fields below to apply for a Shared Interest Group (SIG) 2.0. Once you are accepted, you will be emailed more information about joining the slack channel and future meeting dates. NOTE: SIGs are only open to AMA Chicago members. If you are not a member, join or renew for $149 at ama.org/join.My educational background isn’t in marketing or business (though I’ve been doing the work for about 8 years now in a higher ed setting). I’ve been starting to look for accessible marketing-focused books to supplement my “on the ground” knowledge. I’m really excited to have some conversation partners that I can be nerdy with about marketing too!
