  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Thanks, HeresChicago for such a great job! We've been part of HeresChicago for years and you sill manage to amaze us with your continued referrals! Just this week, we received 2 HOT buyout leads that are resulting in site inspections. Thank you so much for being a valued resource!

  • 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.

    Here's Chicago's First Client

  • 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.
