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.

The site really is a planners 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! "
