Make New Professional Connections at the MCA Summer Meeting

Reception

5-6 pm Tuesday, June 23

Relax after our first full meeting day! Grab a drink and mingle with colleagues at our host hotel. You’ll socialize with friends and network with new connections from throughout the industry. Unwind while you discover new professional contacts that can benefit your company and career.  

Optional Outing: Baseball Game

6:30 pm Tuesday, June 23

Batter up! It’s summer in Chicago, but we won’t start a fight by asking you to choose the Cubs or the Sox. Instead, MCA is hosting an optional event Tuesday night at a ballfield less than a mile from our host hotel. Root, root, root for the home team, the Chicago Dogs, as they battle the Cleburne Railroaders at the 6,300-seat Impact Field in Rosemont, IL.

Never heard of them? That’s OK because this game is about a lot more than baseball. Members of the American Association of Independent Professional Baseball, the Chicago Dogs emphasize a fan-focused experience, providing plenty of entertainment beyond the diamond.

Join other MCA attendees for a night at the ballpark by adding this optional event when you register. A $25 fee applies, and you can buy dinner at the game.

Breakfasts, Lunch, and Breaks

Breakfast: 7:30-8:15 am Tuesday and Wednesday

Lunch: Noon-1 pm Tuesday

Your meeting registration includes three meals and coffee breaks. But these are more than opportunities to fuel up and caffeinate. These shared meals give you an opportunity to catch up with connections and make new contacts as you chat over your meals and drinks.

Other meals and drinks can be purchased at out host hotel’s restaurants with other attendees or Rosemont’s dozens of restaurants.
