Special Interest Group (SIG)
Special Interest Groups (SIGs) — June 2026
Wednesday, 03 June - Monday, 22 June 2026
Special Interest Groups (SIGs) are AMA Chicago member-only, collaborative discussion groups designed to create an open forum for the exchange of knowledge and ideas. SIGs meet virtually once a month for 45–60 minutes. The topics are community-driven and interactive. SIG members communicate with other members of each group in dedicated Slack channels in the AMA Chicago account.
- If you’re not part of a SIG, learn more and join.
- If you’re part of a SIG, keep an eye on the Slack channel! (You also should have received email invitations to join the monthly meetings.)
- Any AMA Chicago member may attend any SIG meeting.
