Oct. 5: Chicago Southland Convention & Visitors Bureau annual meeting & awards luncheon

From the Chicago Southland CVB:

Please join the Chicago Southland Convention & Visitors Bureau to celebrate 30 years in tourism with invited keynote speaker Governor Bruce Rauner.

A lot has happened in 30 years. In 1986, the Chicago Bears won Super Bowl XX against the New England Patriots and we learned to Super Bowl Shuffle, we watched the Berlin Wall fall and saw Oprah start her first talk show. Most notably, the Chicago Southland CVB opened its doors. They invite you to join them for a 30 year look at the evolution of the Chicago Southland CVB, the progress that has been achieved, the economic impact of tourism on the region and what the future holds.

When: Wednesday, October 5, 2016, 11:30 a.m. to 1:15 p.m. Where: DoubleTree by Hilton Chicago-Alsip, 5000 West 127th Street, Alsip, IL 60803 Click here to register.
