Choose Chicago hosted the Neighborhood Tourism Conference, a half-day meeting devoted to strategizing on how to drive more visitation to Chicago’s neighborhoods. This first-of-its-kind gathering is a direct outgrowth of the work originally started as part of the City’s Recovery Task Force launched during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. Held at the Chicago Cultural Center and attended by representatives from various city departments, local neighborhood chambers of commerce, community development corporations, and neighborhood-based community organizations across Chicago, the conference featured key updates on the Choose Chicago Neighborhood Strategy as well as multiple educational breakout sessions focusing on best practices in marketing neighborhoods successfully, creating vibrancy in neighborhoods through placemaking and public art, organizing successful neighborhood special events, and using social media to effectively to promote neighborhoods. Expert panelists, such as Erin Harkey, Commissioner of the Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events, provided insights on ways to achieve successful city and community partnerships, while local content creator and influencer, Jenny LeFlore (@mamafreshchi), shared her experiences and expertise as one of Choose Chicago’s neighborhood content creators highlighting various things to do in Bronzeville via social media. Other panelists included community leaders, designers, and digital strategists. As the city prepares for an influx of visitors this summer, Police Superintendent David Brown was present to share the city’s safety strategy.
