Who's speaking
The Summit Chicago 2027 speakers are hospitality, tourism and events leaders from across Chicago. They present on Tuesday, April 27, 2027, at City Hall in the West Loop. The program has two breakout tracks, Planner and Tourism, and a State of the Industry keynote panel led by Kristen Reynolds, President & CEO of Choose Chicago. At the Roundtable Networking Luncheon at Recess, hosts lead topic tables over lunch.
Every speaker works in the business they talk about: hotel and venue sales, catering, destination marketing, design and digital strategy. Sessions are built for takeaways you can use the week after.
