    Michael Kuntz

    Michael Embrey

  • “Believe me I have book marked your site. Again Kudos to your site. I was not exaggerating when I called it a god send. Thank you again for your personal assistance. I will definitely use your site for future venues; I just wished I had found y'all two months ago.”

    Kristi Bryant, Independent Meeting Planner, Virtual Rescue

  • 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

    Melanie Mapes

  • Thank you to Jim and Here's Chicago for being a great partners. Jim really takes the time to get to know you personally to make your listings with him really pop! I have received many leads that turn into a business. I highly recommend them! Thanks for all you do.

    Johnathon Paszkiet

  • The leads coming from Here’s Chicago are legitimate leads from seasoned event veterans from premier corporations. We do not have to weed out people that have no experience booking meeting spaces, a lead from Here’s Chicago is a qualified professional who knows the event industry.

    Stan Hansen, Sodexo & Museum of Science and Industry

  • We were Hereschicago.com’s FIRST client 19 years ago and have remained with them due to the pre-qualified corporate planners that are actively interested in booking our Teambuilding programs including our Scavenger Hunts and Summer Picnics at our premier venue, UIC Picnic Grounds and across the Chicagoland area. We stay with Hereschicago.com due to Jim Grillo, CMP, the founder and owner of Hereschicago.com. Jim takes the time to make sure that we receive an ROI from our investment with them. He guaranteed we would grow our business with him and he has delivered. In addition, we have multiple listings featuring our team building programs, scavenger hunts and our picnic location on Hereschicago.com. No matter what level of advertising you select with Jim, we have found the exposure to his meeting and event professional subscribers extremely valuable. We just celebrated our company’s 25th anniversary and Hereschicago.com as a marketing partner has contributed to our sustainability and revenue growth throughout our 19 years.
