August 2nd, 2019, we reserved the entire brand-new Odyssey River Cruise boat. Food was amazing, prepared fresh onboard, with premium open bar. This is a new service that glides up the North Branch of the Chicago river, then down the South Branch then back to Michigan Ave, a very smooth ride compared to our previous events out on the lake.

At the October 2018 dinner, we had "Women in Intermodal, a Panel Discussion". It was a well attended meeting, with the panelists being from rail, drayage, 3PL, and driver perspective.
