Chicago Non-Monogamy Conference
For the third year, the CNMC will be hosted at the Chicago School of Professional Psychology in downtown Chicago. The Chicago School is across the street for the Merchandise Mart Brown Line stop, and is fully accessible. The conference runs from 9am to 5pm, with registration opening at 8:30am. There will be 4 classes over the course of the day, with 3 presentation options each slot, as well as optional lunch round-tables.
The CNMC seeks to build community through inclusivity. With this in mind, our 3rd conference is focusing on class presenters who specifically speak to and represent disability in non-monogamy, gender non-conformity in the community, and polyamorous Indigenous/Black/People of Color.
