Standing room only at this morning's partner engagement event at the Chicago History Museum where we discussed all things IPW 2025! Thank you to all of our partners and team members who came out and made this event so successful. IPW is the largest in-bound international travel trade show in the United States, and its coming to Chicago next June! This is a major opportunity for our tourism and hospitality industry to show off everything our city offers international travelers. Special thanks to our CMO Lisa Nucci and Aimee Gabel from U.S. Travel Association for presenting, and to Joleen Haran from Big Bus Tours, Steve Brauer from the Chicago Cubs, and Aimee (Gerard) Willetts from the Field Museum for participating in a panel discussion with our VP of Global Development Naomi Hattori on how investing in IPW pays dividends in the long term. It's great to see our community coming together to take full advantage of this event and learn how to get involved with #IPW25.

Thank you, Chicago! 🙏💕 We couldn't be prouder of the collective effort our city displayed this week and in the months leading up to the 2024 Democratic National Convention. Thank you to our partners at the City of Chicago, State of Illinois, Chicago 2024 Host Committee , 2024 Democratic National Convention Committee, McCormick Place, United Center, Hawthorne Strategy Group, Chicago Federation of Labor, and everyone else involved in planning and executing this incredible week. Thank you to the hotels that provided outstanding hospitality experiences for all visitors. Thank you to the restaurants, shops, cultural institutions, venues, and other local businesses that showed out for DNC visitors. Thank you especially to each and every Chicago resident who went out of their way to make visitors feel welcome. We put our best foot forward and showed the world what we've always known – Chicago is the most beautiful, dynamic, innovative city in America. And we're ready for anything. Thanks to the hard work of all these groups and so many more, the positive impact of the DNC will be felt for years to come.

Thanks to all the delegates and visiting media folks who took a moment to send a note to friends and loved ones from the most beautiful city in America. Come back soon and send another!
