10 S LaSalle St Unit 2600
Chicago, IL 60603

This year, the SMPS Friendsgiving Social Event is combined with our Annual Event! This unique networking event will recap our 2025/2026 program year and discuss what is ahead for the Chicago Chapter in 2027.

How is this a unique networking experience? As we reflect on this past year and look ahead to next, we'll build bikes to donate to Mercy House for Boys and Girls. This will be our third year building and donating bikes.

The 2027 program year, which now officially begins on January 1st, is poised to offer a ton of value to our members and guests through a range of programs, professional development events, social networking opportunities, and educational resources. At the Annual Meeting, you'll hear from the Board of Directors about what is coming this year and learn about opportunities to get more involved in the Chapter.

We are lucky to host this event at WJE (Wiss, Janney, Elstner Associates, Inc.) in Chicago's Loop.

Your ticket includes:
  • Networking opportunities with fellow professionals
  • Food and beverages throughout the event
  • Friendly activities and plenty of fun
  • Insight into what SMPS's next year will look like


Parking & Transportation:

The Loop offers several parking options, including nearby public garages and surface lots. Rideshare services are also readily available throughout the neighborhood, and the venue is conveniently located near Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) bus and rail lines, making it easily accessible from across the city and suburbs.

Come ready to network, compete, and enjoy an evening of great food, drinks, and professional camaraderie.

We look forward to seeing you soon!
