Chicago Strategic
Meetings Summit
Prevue's Strategic Meetings Summit, held this past August in Chicago, gave meeting
planners from organizations ranging from McDonald's to the Young Presidents Organization
an elevated view. Session topics ran the gamut of strategic meeting planning-from
unexpected contract clauses to next-level meeting budgeting-and were interspersed with
elegant networking opportunities, a site inspection of the city's newest property and more.

Three of Chicago's Kimpton Hotels-Hotel
Palomar, Hotel Allegro and The Gray-
rolled out the red carpet for the VIP group.
Attendees had the chance to take a sneak
peek of The Gray, which was opening in just
two weeks.
At Kimpton's Hotel Palomar, educational highlights included a session
by Dianne Devitt of DND Partners on Designing Event Experiences for
the Senses, after which roundtable groups had a chance to storyboard
their own original meeting designed around a single color. Jed Mandel of
Chicago Law Partners shared advice on how to prepare for the unexpected
in meeting contracts, while Mark Benson, president of Applied Meeting
& Hospitality Solutions, took a deep dive into budgeting and RFPs. Other
sessions included a panel discussion featuring EventWorks' Janet Elkins,
Kellogg's Cecile Mutch and International Meeting Managers' Lynne Tiras on
managing change internally and externally. Open Space-style roundtables
focused on topics chosen in advance by the group.
An opening reception in the Hotel Allegro's clubby Savoy
Room showcased socially responsible amenity options
from HHR/Helping Hand Rewards. All attendees received
a free pair of Revo sunglasses, with $10 from each pair
going to support a Bono-endorsed charity, the Brien
Holden Vision Institute, to stop to preventable blindness.
A highlight of the evening was artist John Bukaty, who
painted an original piece of art as the group mingled.
