The IAM has arrived in New York City to prepare for approximately 1,200 members from across North America to gather next week for the 41st Grand Lodge Convention.
The host territory—the IAM Eastern Territory, the IAM Executive Council, and Grand Lodge staff are meeting, coordinating, and setting up to ensure an exciting week full of solidarity and union power.
The beginning stages of Convention production are in the works. The stage is being built, IAM branding is going up, and meeting rooms are being prepared, all with the help of union labor at the hotel and from around the area.
Final arrangements for guest speakers are being made, gear is being unboxed, and every last detail is getting reviewed.
Follow along on IAM social media channels: Facebook, X, and Instagram!

The 41st IAM Grand Lodge Convention will be held in New York City in September 2024. An essential part of the Convention will be the 2024 IAM Commemorative Convention Book, and a popular feature of the book will be the ads from our own Local and District Lodges. Proceeds from the ads also help offset the cost of the Convention.
If not purchased already, we ask that each IAM Lodge consider buying an ad. You can submit your own ad design or select one of the personalized ready-made options from templates by submitting print-quality photos of your lodge members.
For an order form and detailed information on ad choices, pricing, specifications, and sizes, please get in touch with the Communications Department Office Assistant, Terri Crutchfield, at 301-967-4520 or tcrutchfield@iamaw.org. You can also submit your ad online here.
The IAM Communications Department must receive ads and payments on or before May 3, 2024.
