Here’s what meeting planners & our current listing members say…

  • We listed our company's venue (downtown Chicago) on HeresChicago.com and consistently receive high-quality leads, several of which turned into bookings this past year (success!) On some referral sites, we get an abundance of leads that often go nowhere; on HeresChicago.com

    The leads don't feel mass-produced - emphasis on quality over quantity, which we will take every time. Once listed, the site runs itself by feeding you referrals, but if you do need help, the founder Jim is incredibly personable and eager to help. He will make sure you aren't lost in a sea of businesses but will do everything within his power to ensure you are getting the most out of your membership. Highly recommend working with Jim and the team at HeresChicago.com

  • Hereschicago.com is the best online resource directory for event planners and I think it will be a continued success. Thanks for creating an online tool that helps find the best venue/vendors in the Chicagoland area.

    Irene Fry, ESP Events

  • Believe me, I have bookmarked your site. Again, Kudos to your site. I was not exaggerating when I called it a godsend. Thank you again for your personal assistance. I will definitely use your site for future venues; I just wished I had found y'all two months ago.

    Kristi Bryant, Virtual Rescue

  • Great company! If you are planning a corporate, association, meeting or a special event in the Chicago area, I highly recommend Here's Chicago. Great service and very responsive too!

    Melissa Hahn

  • The leads coming from Here’s Chicago are legitimate leads from seasoned event veterans from premier corporations. We do not have to weed out people that have no experience booking meeting spaces, a lead from Here’s Chicago is a qualified professional who knows the event industry.

    Stan Hansen, Sodexo & Museum of Science and Industry

  • Thank you Jim Grillo and Here's Chicago! Our venue, Lakeshore Sport & Fitness, has been listed on the site for a year. We have had a great experience and have generated more leads/revenue events, as a result. Not only has the site led to more business, but we were also proud to play host venue for Hospitality Fest 2016. It was a pleasure working with Jim and his team of professionals. The event was a huge success! We look forward to continuing our partnership with Here's Chicago.

    David Klein, Lake Shore Sport & Fitness event space

  • Here's Chicago is dedicated to providing the best meeting & event venues, services and team building to meeting planners and Marketing professionals from all industries in Chicago.

    Marianne Kerrigan

  • Working with/through HeresChicago has been a great time. They make you feel welcome and they do fun things! I hope to volunteer for them as long as I can! They’re great for meeting and event venues, services, team building, and planning - whatever you need, they can accommodate! I recommend them for all of your events needs in Chicago!

    Réjane Pierre

  • I am a relatively new customer of Here’s Chicago and have had great success with our advertisement thus far! I have found that we have received consistent, quantified leads from groups that we would not otherwise have had access to– and these groups have booked! The cost for our annual listing is well worth the price for the return that we have received. Be sure to utilize the promotions option as well as they are great resources to get the most out of your money.

  • Hands down, "Here’s Chicago" is the #1 event resource for meeting and event planners in the Chicagoland area. I would not be where I am today in the hospitality industry without Jim’s willingness to go above and beyond to connect me with premiere event spaces and hospitality providers. Jim makes my job easy. I know, without hesitation, my event will be exceptional due to Jim's timely and helpful assistance. Jim is the ultimate professional and his passion for helping others is contagious.
