Chicago Loop 2019 Annual Meeting

Did you know that women make more than 80 percent of retail and residential decisions? They are increasingly well-educated and wealthy. But does the design of downtowns meet their needs? Join us at Chicago Loop Alliance Foundation's 2019 Annual Meeting to learn how we can create a downtown experience that can better serve not only women but also everyone. Sheila D. Grant, co-author of Designing Downtown for Women (Men Will Follow), will share her decades-long industry experience and knowledge with the Chicago Loop community.

Attended by more than 400 business and community leaders each year, Chicago Loop Alliance's Annual Meeting provides members and guests with the opportunity to learn about the latest trends impacting the Loop, and serves as the platform for announcing the organization's upcoming programs and events.
