  • I have had the pleasure of working with Jim and his team on many different events and have always found them to be professional, detail orientated and the best that the City of Chicago has to offer in hospitality and in the connecting of people from different cultures and businesses. Thanks for all that you do Jim!

  • “We have wanted to come to Chicago with our clients, but, we couldn’t find a site that put us over the top until we saw your site and all of the wonderful vendors! I love the videos and makes me want to do more in Chicago with my large client events . As an event professional, you have a lot I can utilize and will definitely be giving the vendors I found on your site a call on Monday or Tuesday. I would like to see your site in all states! It is user friendly, very interactive and displays unique Chicago venues and features great videos such as Fado Irish Pub, etc. video site tour.”

  • We've been working with Here's Chicago for years. Jim and his team of professionals always hit the mark.

  • 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.

  • Jim Grillo is the boss of Chicago. He knows everybody and everything and Here’s Chicago is a great tool for my business. Jim and the website are both great connectors.
