2026 Annual Event

Thank you to everyone who attended and supported our 125th Anniversary Celebration! We were thrilled to host Larry Miller of the Jordan Brand at Nike, who was joined in conversation by Luke Tanen of Chicago Innovation. We also loved hearing from Sandra Brown, Tony Thomas, and David Staples. Did you miss our event? Watch the recording below!
