"Summit’s meeting space is truly designed for training -- square rooms, quality A/V and comfortable, flexible seating. And, the all-inclusive pricing makes it much more economical than using hotel space."

PepsiCo Training & Development

"Summit Executive Centre is the only conference center that comes close to meeting my high standards and expectations for our complex, intricate and critically important company programs. The staff’s white-glove service is exemplary. The facilities are world-class. The food is exquisite."

SmithBucklin President & CEO

"The Summit Executive Centre is a great place to host a meeting. Not only is the facility updated in terms of technology, but aesthetics too. Almost all of the meeting rooms have large windows with views of the city and natural light. The conference package makes planning a breeze, especially for our group since they are big eaters and coffee drinkers so I know that they will never go without. The staff is always super helpful and accommodating to changes. I could not recommend the venue and staff more!"

James Hardie Building Products, Inc. Meeting Manager

"Summit’s meeting space with natural light and built in audio visual equipment is a meeting planner’s dream. The all-inclusive food and beverage package makes planning a snap, the food quality is outstanding and it’s cost-effective. No detail is too small or trivial for the experienced convention services team at Summit. They make it happen!"

Yelp

"Everything about The Summit was great. Everyone loved the setup, the location, the food and the space. This was the first year everyone was facing each other in the setting (instead of sitting in a classroom-like setting) and the amount of brainstorming and talking that went on was insane! We’ll definitely be back next year!"

Greenline Financial Technologies

"Wow! It’s really this simple. If you are planning a meeting in Chicago you have to use Summit. As the meeting planner and meeting facilitator it can become overwhelming planning and executing an event. Summit removes most of the logistical aspect of planning then they execute, which allowed me to focus on the meeting and our business outcome. Why isn't their a Summit in every major city????"

Cisco Business Operations Program Manager Talent Management

"This was our 4th meeting at Summit West and as usual, all went very well! You are all welcoming, flexible, and helpful which is the foundation for a successful meeting.

PS The lunch was delicious and all the snacks were great too. "

BP Personal Assistant

"Finding creative locations for events can be an interesting process. Sasha's ability to represent The Summit as if it were made only for my event is impressive! She is extremely thorough, professional and her tenacity gets results. No detail was missed, perfect execution."

Microsoft Project Manager

"I work in Michigan and I was looking for a venue in Chicago to hold an important meeting. I contacted The Summit. I was assured they would handle everything and not to worry. The AV, room set up and food. The meeting was a total success! Since then, I have had 3 other trainings at the Executive Summit. Working with them I have no worries. They are very professional and willing to go the extra mile to make sure your event is successful."

Plante Moran Event Coordinator

"We were looking for a new location to host our 500+ Chicago based Training Seminars. The Summit created a dedicated space for us. Their service and facilities are so in line with what we expect for our customers that we only had a representative on site for the first couple of months to ensure a smooth transition. It’s a GREAT partnership!"

National Training Company John Murphy

"My favorite part of booking an event at Summits is their all-inclusive approach. I get top-notch meeting rooms, with state-of-the-art technology, supreme service and the perfect food to fuel my meetings. All I have to do is tell them how many people are attending!"
