Fresh off the heels of a breakout 2016, Here’s Chicago, the event resource where meeting, party and event planners find the best event planning venues & services, has announced a new Holiday Party Planning print guide to debut in summer 2017.

The publication will assist meeting and event planners in organizing the perfect holiday party. Forward-thinking articles written by industry insiders will offer guidance and organizational tips for those tasked with planning holiday parties for their company, association or clients, while a comprehensive venue guide will showcase some of Chicagoland’s most stunning locations and hidden gems.

“Planning a holiday party is an important task,” said Jim Grillo, CEO of Here’s Chicago. “This new print guide will help planners gain valuable knowledge on the subject from a hand-picked collection of Chicago’s best meeting & event planners and find the perfect venue for their group. Whether they are planning for 20 people or 2,000, we’re confident this guide will deliver.”

The publication launches at a time when interest in Here’s Chicago is at an all-time high. This past year, website visitors to HeresChicago.com soared by 46% and the firm delivered over 4,000 group leads to its current listing members.

The Here’s Chicago Holiday Party Planning Guide is being produced in cooperation with Premier Travel Media, a Chicagoland publishing firm that specializes in the group travel sector. “We’re thrilled to be on the ground floor of this project,” said Theresa O’Rourke, vice president of Premier Travel Media. “Holiday parties are a critical component for most venues and service providers in the Chicagoland area. They can boost your end-of-year profits and help make your first-quarter goal. This guide will help them reach the right planners at the right time and is a perfect complement to the existing Here’s Chicago platform.”

The guide will debut in July of 2017 with a print circulation to Chicagoland’s largest corporations and associations, plus professional meeting and event planners who book business into the Windy City. Additional distribution will occur at Here’s Chicago Live events, plus the guide will be featured online on HeresChicago.com and the company’s monthly newsletter.
