At The Summit Chicago, business meets opportunity across three dynamic West Loop venues, each designed to connect, inspire, and elevate the city’s hospitality and events community. This premier conference unites industry leaders, hotel executives, event planners, concierges, tourism professionals, social media influencers, and media partners from across Illinois and beyond. Exhibitors and sponsors gain direct access to the professionals who shape Chicago’s visitor economy, those who book venues, recommend experiences, and influence buying decisions every day.
The audience is as diverse as the city itself: hotel and venue teams seeking new partnerships, corporate planners sourcing vendors, tourism and concierge networks looking for fresh guest experiences, and influencers and media outlets eager to highlight what’s next in Chicago’s event scene. Every conversation on the show floor can open the door to new business opportunities, brand exposure, and long-term growth.
The Education Sessions and Networking Luncheon take place at City Hall & Recess, where attendees gather for professional development, leadership panels, and facilitated conversations that spark collaboration. Just four minutes away, the Trade Show and Summit Awards unfold at Morgan Manufacturing, a beautifully restored industrial space that transforms into a high-energy marketplace for innovation, brand activations, and live demonstrations.
Together, these venues showcase Chicago’s creative spirit and business excellence. Exhibiting or sponsoring at The Summit positions your company among the top players building the city’s hospitality future. Whether you represent a women-owned business enterprise, a national brand, or an emerging startup, this is where your company can make a lasting impact.
Our annual event delivers measurable ROI through curated networking, targeted education sessions, and hands-on experiences that help attendees discover new products, insights, and partnerships. The Summit Chicago offers a full-circle experience—learning, connection, and visibility for brands ready to grow with the city’s most influential leaders.
