The International Labor Communications Association (ILCA) will hold its biennial convention in New Orleans from November 18 to 20, 2025. The event will feature community service activities, networking receptions, the ILCA awards ceremony, and a series of panels and workshops. The specific theme for this year’s convention is expected to be announced soon.
The ILCA provides support for labor communicators throughout North America and is affiliated with the AFL-CIO. DeLane Adams, Assistant Communications Director at IAM Union, currently serves as Secretary-Treasurer for the ILCA.
IAM Communications Department members have received recognition at previous ILCA Labor Media Awards Contests. This contest is noted as the largest and longest-running competition in labor communications, highlighting top achievements in the field.
Recent winners from IAM Union include Angela Colaizzi, who received the Max Steinbock Award for “NLRB Takes Down Union Buster”; Ashley Mumford and the IAM Journal Team, who took third place for Best Print Publication with the Summer 2023 IAM Journal; and Ross Olson, who earned third place for Best Design – Single Issue Publication.
Past conventions have served as opportunities for labor communications professionals across North America to exchange best practices.
Registration for the upcoming ILCA Convention is open to all interested parties; membership is not required to attend.
