About This Event

The Council is committed to providing a community of innovation while ensuring Chicago remains a thriving global city. To help navigate the time of pivotal change and unprecedented challenges that Chicago’s business leaders are facing, the Council is launching a new series of CEO-led, peer-to-peer conversations around common interests and emerging trends in the business community. These CEO-only meetings will be off-the-record, intentionally intimate, and in-person (as long as we’re able to convene safely).

Our first discussion and dinner will take place on December 2 and will be led by John Ettelson, President and CEO of William Blair, and Sanjay Rishi, Americas CEO of Work Dynamics at JLL, covering the post-COVID workplace.

Note

This event will require specific safety measures for attendance. Please review these measures upon registration.
