The 2024 SITE Chicago Grand Slam was a success! This day always flies by and I’m so grateful for everyone that supported this event in any way. Our Board of Directors, our AV support from BlackOak Technical Productions, our (surprise) gifting experience from Joycoast, Sustainable Gifts, our venue at Wrigley Rooftops - everyone was amazing. The After Party was supported by our venue XGolf Wrigleyville, Blue Plate Catering and Visit Aruba. Thanks to everyone who attended, stopped me to say hello and took time to share their appreciation for the event. This one is near and dear to me, and I’m so proud of what we all accomplished. Now onto Meetings & Incentives Worldwide, Inc. Summit next week. I look forward to seeing many of our fabulous Grand Slam sponsors at Summit on Tuesday! #sitechicago #eventprofs
