UPDATE: Please see www.windycitytimes.com/lgbt/IML-cancelled/68601.html .
After being postponed because of the Coronavirus pandemic, the annual International Mr. Leather ( IML ) global convention will take place Sept. 24-27 in Chicago.
IML was originally slated to take place during Memorial Day weekend.
According to the event's website, "After considerable effort and work, The IML Organization has secured new dates and agreements to hold IML/IMBB 2020. It comes with some uncertainty as we still do not know what the pandemic will bring in the next few months and if state and local governments will continue restrictions. Moving IML/IMBB to September allows our annual family reunion to be an important healing and return to normalcy for our leather community.
"With that we are ready to announce that IML and IMBB will occur September 24-27, 2020 in a unique shorter format. We wanted to get the dates out now so you can start your plans to attend."
