Chicago Southland Convention & Visitors Bureau Named One Of The Top CVB/DMOs in United States


Olympia Fields, Ill. – (June 2, 2023) – In the June edition of “Smart Meetings” magazine, the Chicago Southland Convention & Visitors Bureau was named one of the best Convention & Visitors Bureaus and Destination Marketing Organizations (CVB/DMO) in the United States.

“Being named one of the best CVB/DMO organizations validates the positive feedback we consistently get from our community partners, so I’m thrilled to receive this award, and want to congratulate our incredibly hard-working staff,” said CSCVB President/CEO Jim Garrett.

The Chicago Southland Convention & Visitors Bureau is the official destination management and marketing organization for Chicago’s 60 south and southwest suburbs.
