Marketing Executives Group (MEG)

MEG banner

It is with great regret that we announce we will not be holding our Marketing Executives Group (MEG) event scheduled for May 13-15th. Due to the World Health Organization recently declaring the COVID-19 viral disease a pandemic, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s recommendation to limit gatherings, the U.S. Surgeon General’s recommendation to avoid nonessential travel, and the State of Illinois’ emergency declarations, similar to the National Restaurant Association Show in Chicago, we have been forced to cancel the May event.

While we are disappointed to not be able to host our attendees and sponsors in May, we believe it is the required decision for everyone’s safety and will continue to support our members and the industry.

About the Marketing Executives Group (MEG)

The Marketing Executives Group (MEG) is a community of restaurant marketing professionals who are connected 365 days a year and come together every May in Chicago preceding the National Restaurant Association Show. MEG raises the level of industry excellence by connecting, inspiring, teaching and challenging each other through the exchange of ideas, thought leadership and best practices.
