Relevant information and great networking. It was very engaging and there are a lot of takeaways that can be taken back and implemented. Personable, informative, great energy. Great job of encouraging open discussion among attendees. I learned a lot from everyone and made great contacts. The networking opportunities that this program provides are very valuable, the speakers were extremely energetic. Loved the up to date information, I can use everything I learned. This was a very well-coordinated event, the flow of presentations and breaks were well timed. I m coming away from this program with several key takeaways that I can apply to my daily routine. Winner of a TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence, the Renaissance Chicago enthralls from the moment you enter the lobby featuring a VIP Lounge, Artist Studio, Coffee Bar and Library. Experience the distinctive, hip scene with local flair, delectable dishes and creative cocktails. Steps away from upscale shopping, fine dining, the theater district, and Millennium Park.
