Widen Your Professional Network at the MCA Summer Meeting

Reception

5:30-6:30 pm Tuesday, June 10

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 10

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 Winnipeg Goldeyes at the 6,300-seat Impact Field in Rosemont, IL.

Members of the American Association of Independent Professional Baseball, the Chicago Dogs emphasize a fan-focused experience, providing plenty of entertainment in addition to the game itself.

While you’re there, hit the concourse to buy local favorites—like including Chicago-style hot dogs, elote, bosco sticks, grilled brats, and pizza—from vendors, including the famous Wiener’s Circle. Buy yourself some peanuts and Cracker Jack, but we can’t promise you won’t get grief if you put ketchup on your hot dog.

Want MCA to take you out the ballgame? When you register, add this optional event. A $20 fee will apply.
