KEYNOTE PANEL
State of the Industry: What 2027 Holds for Chicago Hospitality, Tourism and Events
Choose Chicago President & CEO Kristen Reynolds leads the panel that closes the morning, joined by leaders from across Chicago's tourism and convention business. 2027 brings the Obama Presidential Center's first full year of operation, the UN International Year of Sustainable and Resilient Tourism, and a full year of travel data from after the World Cup. The panel covers what those numbers mean for your bookings, group business and staffing, and what to plan for before the 2028 calendar fills.
