if it's december in chicago, then it's time for an encore! holiday showcase and the after-party we call the "encore!" party were on december 15, 2009. 40 h+g partners hosted over 400 clients in the grand ballroom of the hyatt regency chicago. to be in that room is to appreciate the relationships and fun that still are the foundation of our industry.

we host this event annually as the best way to thank the association community for its contributions to the meetings/events industry. especially in 2009, associations helped the supplier community keep moving forward. they didn't cancel meetings and they worked with us as we did with them to keep meetings happening and the hospitality community feels grateful. thank you, associations!
