Our Commitment to your Safety

We have been inspired by the industry’s enthusiasm as we return to live events and have been thrilled to safely host more than 4,000 executives this summer. As we continue to overcome and emerge from the Covid-19 pandemic, we know the best way through the latest developments and to keep the industry thriving is by working together. As such, we are updating our event safety guidelines & protocols as follows:

 

  • In accordance with CDC guidelines, we are recommending that all participants wear a mask, regardless of vaccination status. Masks will be made available at the door.
  • Temperature checks will be conducted at entry.
  • Attendance at the event will be capped and no tickets will be sold at the door. 
  • Contact tracing procedures will be employed for any reported exposure.
  • Socially distanced seating will be available in the main event space.
  • Enhanced sanitization protocols will be adhered to throughout the event space including regularly disinfecting surfaces throughout the event and hand sanitizer provided to all attendees.

 

As local regulations and guidance evolve, the CRE industry continues to lead the way forward. We look forward to gathering safely to do what we do best: network, connect, and engage to do more business. We look forward to hosting you soon.

State of Hospitality Coming Out Of The Pandemic
The coronavirus pandemic upended the hospitality industry in March 2020. As people remained home, hotels went underused; now, city reopenings are reinvigorating the industry. How did Chicago Hospitality navigate the past 18 months, and what does the future look like, particularly with the delta variant?

Tourism, Conferences, and the Future of Business Travel
With widespread vaccine availability around the county, companies have started to get back to in-person. Will large-scale conferences return, or will companies elect for the convenience of digital gatherings? How will Chicago tourism balance the influx of travel with the uncertainty of this new stage of the pandemic?

Why This Matters

Why This Matters:

  • Many predict that tourism will come roaring back as people still want to travel and couldn't for the last 16 months. That being said, many in the corporate world have found the benefit of not having to spend so much time on the road. Will business travel ever be the same?
  • With the success of the vaccine rollout can major conferences be scheduled and executed for Q3 and Q4?
  • Will we see any major changes to the hospitality world from the pandemic? If so what are they and what impacts will they have? 

   

Who You'll Meet: Investors, owners, developers, architects, GCs, lawyers, accounts, and brokers. 

  

How You'll Do More Business: No part of CRE experienced more turbulence of the past year and a half than the hospitality industry. Now the world seems to be roaring back and everyone is trying to make up for lost time.
