Dear Linksters,

We’re thrilled to welcome you to Chicago for the 2026 ChainLinks National Convention! Get ready to reconnect with friends, meet new colleagues, and be inspired in one of America’s greatest cities.

Our program blends our business with unforgettable experiences:

🌆 Welcome to Chicago Tour 
Start with Chicago’s iconic Architectural River Tour - the best way to see the skyline and history or opt for a land-based, magical adventure.

⚾ Welcome Reception in Wrigleyville
Wednesday evening takes us to the Brickhouse Tavern, next door to historic Wrigley Field - an iconic setting to celebrate together.

🎭 Work Hard and Play Hard
Thursday features a full day of meetings at a cultural landmark in Millennium Park, followed by an evening at RECESS in Fulton Market, one of Chicago’s most vibrant dining and nightlife districts.

Above all, this convention is about you—our members. Your ideas, energy, and connections are what make ChainLinks truly special. Thank you for your participation. 

Our kind of town, Chicago is… see you soon!

Ted Gildea and Brian Kerr
