About the Conference

Improve your SG and network with peers amid the beautiful skyline of America’s “Second City.”

In your spare time while attending ASGA Chicago, visit America’s oldest zoo, check out the Monets and other masterpieces at the Art Institute of Chicago, or try a slice of heaven at one of Chi-town’s renowned deep-dish pizza joints. Unwind at a blues club or comedy show to channel your inner Blues Brother, grab a Chicago-style hot dog and a pop from a street vendor, or witness breathtaking views from the top of the Willis Tower.
