We hosted the event at BellWorks Chicagoland, which is also the HQ of our business. This venue provided the perfect space to create an intimate and enjoyable atmosphere, distinct from typical trade shows.

Event Overview

What was the event like?

The BellWorks Chicagoland venue, a "metroburb" in Hoffman Estates, set the scene for an unforgettable experience. The event was designed to be more like a hip evening out with craft cocktails, delicious finger food, high energy, and good music. This setting was a stark contrast to the usual large, impersonal conference rooms.
