Ever wondered what it takes to bring the American College of Chest Physicians (CHEST) conference to life? Join us for an exclusive behind-the-scenes tour followed by a panel that takes a look at the complex logistics and strategic planning that make this premier event possible.

In this session, key members of the CHEST planning team will share insights into their planning process and how they got here. You will learn how they navigated vendor relationships between Freeman, Encore, and McCormick Place, managed large-scale production needs, and executed a seamless experience for over 9,000 attendees. Get ready to explore the spaces that CHEST has created to engage attendees through the conference including: hands-on Simulation Center, an Escape Room, Wellness Zone, mural painting project, pickleball court and so much more! Whether you’re an event professional, prospective supplier, or simply curious about what happens behind the curtain, this discussion will provide a fascinating deep dive into the intricate world of conference logistics.
