Chicago, Live

Live experiences are no longer confined to concerts or entertainment alone. They are business drivers, tourism engines, brand platforms, and powerful expressions of how a city shows up in the world.

At a place like Navy Pier, that conversation becomes even broader. This program brings together the leaders across venue strategy, tourism, civic positioning, production, and experience design to explore what it takes to create moments that attract audiences, shape perception, and generate lasting economic value.

This conversation goes deeper than just what happens on stage. It is about what happens around it — how destinations are activated, how partnerships are built, how experiences are monetized, and how cities like Chicago compete for relevance, attention, and growth.

For executives across industries, the takeaway is clear: in a world where experiences increasingly shapes loyalty, reputation, and demand, the leaders who understand how big moments are built will be better positioned to build momentum in their own organizations.
