MPI Chicago Area Chapter Events
MPI-CAC offers a wide variety of engaging education and networking events throughout the year.
Our education events such as Knowledge Shares, Signature Luncheon and Industry Xchange provide the opportunity to learn from your peers as well as from subject matter experts in the meetings and events industry and beyond. Networking opportunities are infused in every MPI-CAC event, though it takes center stage in our special events such as the Member Meetups, Golf Classic and our annual rotating special event. We never miss an opportunity to recognize the best in the industry and that is never more evident than at the Annual Awards Recognition Celebration.

Situated on the iconic Chicago River with stunning views of downtown, River Roast is a lively social house and gathering place.
The menu features contemporary American tavern fare with dramatic presentations of whole roasted chicken, whole roasted fish, and slow roasted beef – all carved table-side. The food is handcrafted, yet rustic, with many plates designed for sharing. The bar offers a large selection of local beer, craft cocktails, beer, and wine. With one of the best patios in Chicago, River Roast is a great place to enjoy dining outside on a hot summer afternoon or a crisp fall evening.
River Roast Private Events offers six spaces, all with spectacular views, for parties from 10 to 1,000.
