What we did:
Day 1 - Welcome to Chicago
With attendees arriving from all across the US at various times today. We ensure check in was as least taxing as possible across the day. The event kicked off with a short walk to Labriola on the North River area. We had exclusive hire of their back room lounge and here our guests were able to team up and have a pizza making competition - an amazing icebreaker. You will be surprise how competitive this can get!
After Labriola, our group had a free late evening schedule to either head back and relax at the hotel. Or sample some of the many city taverns and establishments.
Day 2 - Photos, baseball and farewell party.
We began the day with a light breakfast before arranging our group to attend a marketing photoshoot across the morning in one of the hotel's event spaces. The objective here was team and individual shots for branding and corporate marketing purposes
Lunchtime we headed out together on the subway to the legendary Wrigley Field. Here the Cubs were playing the Reds across the afternoon. A perfect afternoon bringing together a Chicago staple and and American classic of beer and a hot dog!
After we finished the game, the group had some free time to relax and prepare for the final evening. We arranged and managed half of the group to visit the 360 venue for sunset. Here our guests had amazing views across all of Chicago and even took part in the Tilt experience. A feeling that you're almost being tipped over the edge...perfectly safe and another view of the city!
After sunset we brought the group all back together at Gibson's Restaurant. Were we have an private upstairs dining space for an amazing 3 course meal and a chance for the senior leadership team to address the group. Also for notable achievements to be celebrated both individually and in teams.
Day 3 - Time to say goodbye!
Our final day we said our goodbyes and ensured our group made their transfers back to the airport to begin their journey home.
Summary:
We had three month working lead time on this event and clear objectives. We brought our group into Chicago and ensured everybody got a real taste of the city. Everyone left with smiles, stories and memories that will be the talk of the office for a long tome to come.
Keeping transportation to a minimum in destination by walking as much as possible or using public transport. We were able to hit achievable sustainability goals, including carbon off setting our own flights as an agency.
Thank you once again to all at Transmission US for the opportunity to bring this to life for you all. It was great to be back with you all again.
