"I am a relatively new customer of Here’s Chicago and have had great success with our advertisement thus far! I have found that we have received consistent, quantified leads from groups that we would not otherwise have had access to– and these groups have booked! The cost for our annual listing is well worth the price for the return that we have received. Be sure to utilize the promotions option as well as they are great resources to get the most out of your money."

Here’s Chicago is an amazing site and I will definitely tout it to all my fellow event planners and clients who have a need for planning events in the Chicago area. The site really is a planner's dream because not only is it robust but it’s comprehensive and well organized. I would think every credible venue, entertainer, and transportation company would clamor to be a part of your site. Chicago Tourism should be indebted to you for creating such a great tool!

They’re great for meeting and event venues, services, team building, and planning - whatever you need, they can accommodate! I recommend them for all of your events needs in Chicago!

We listed our company's venue (downtown Chicago) on HeresChicago.com and consistently receive high-quality leads, several of which turned into bookings this past year (success!) On some referral sites, we get an abundance of leads that often go nowhere; on HeresChicago.com

The leads don't feel mass-produced - emphasis on quality over quantity, which we will take every time. Once listed, the site runs itself by feeding you referrals, but if you do need help, the founder Jim is incredibly personable and eager to help. He will make sure you aren't lost in a sea of businesses but will do everything within his power to ensure you are getting the most out of your membership. Highly recommend working with Jim and the team at HeresChicago.com

Hands down, "Here’s Chicago" is the #1 event resource for meeting and event planners in the Chicagoland area. I would not be where I am today in the hospitality industry without Jim’s willingness to go above and beyond to connect me with premiere event spaces and hospitality providers. Jim makes my job easy. I know, without hesitation, my event will be exceptional due to Jim's timely and helpful assistance. Jim is the ultimate professional and his passion for helping others is contagious.

Thank you, Jim Grillo, and Here's Chicago! Our venue, Lakeshore Sport & Fitness, has been listed on the site for a year. We have had a great experience and have generated more leads/revenue events, as a result. Not only has the site led to more business, but we were also proud to play host venue for Hospitality Fest 2016. It was a pleasure working with Jim and his team of professionals. The event was a huge success! We look forward to continuing our partnership with Here's Chicago.

I always go to Here's Chicago first, when I need a quality vendor to take care of one of my clients. The businesses are always professional and easy to work with.
