Keynote Address 11 am – 12 noon The 1920s and ‘30s were a time when gangsters and their molls ruled the streets of Chicago. Alcohol had been banned by Prohibition. Speakeasies provided those who were brave or desperate enough to seek out an illegal establishment with a place to drink, gamble and rub shoulders with some of Chicago’s most notorious, colorful and charismatic characters. Join your peers for a fun evening of networking, realistic casino action, hearty food and drinks at our version of “Casino Night at the Speakeasy.” Feel free to come dressed as your favorite gangster, moll or flapper to add your own touch to the evening’s atmosphere!
