Chicago Propeller Club Maritime Day reception – a Day to Remember

🎉 Thank you so much to everyone who attended the sold-out Chicago Propeller Club Maritime Day celebration aboard City Experiences Chicago Elite.

🌞 It was a wonderful day of good conversation, sunshine, and sailing. We welcomed nearly 20 new sponsors – details of our wonderful sponsors are on site – and close to 100 new members to the club. The event showed the deep passion in Chicago and the Great Lakes for maritime and industry, with guests attending from across Illinois, Wisconsin, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, and Nova Scotia.

🚢 The club is growing fast, filling a gap for high-level maritime industry in Chicago. We’re attracting a diverse range of dynamic businesses, including shipping lines, barge operators, ports, manufacturers, freight forwarders, boatyards, professional services, and public bodies from across the Great Lakes and Midwest.

📅 Our next event is on August 7 – a reception with the Great Lakes port directors ahead of the American Great Lakes Ports Association conference. Save the date!

We’ll also be at IMX in Nashville and Posidonia in Athens—please do get in touch. We would also recommend that you register for theInternational Propeller Club convention in Tampa, October 23-25, and grow your network among the 80 propeller clubs worldwide.
