About Us

Fearlessly expanding the boundaries of human potential

Chicago Event Management is more than an event production company, it’s a team motivated to connect the communities we serve through the events we produce. At the core of our organization, we believe in sharing best practices, using learnings to create unforgettable experiences and building lasting relationships that lead to new ideas and innovation.

Since its inception in 1996, CEM has stayed true to this mission and as a result, has become a leader in event production and the endurance sports industry.


Our mission and vision

Our mission is to create the challenges that bind us together and, through shared struggle and experience, emerge our best-selves in service of each other.

Our vision is that everyone sees their own potential and that of all humanity.


Our commitment to expanding boundaries

Our vision at Chicago Event Management (CEM) is to create experiences where everyone sees their own potential and that of all humanity. We are committed to expanding diversity, equity and inclusion in our organization, throughout our industry and within the communities where we live, work and run. ​

We are building a diverse and inclusive workplace where individuals feel welcome, heard and respected. We are partnering with organizations to support programs that break down barriers and grow participation for historically under-represented communities. We are dedicated to centering the voices of all our team members and event participants with the goal of continued dialogue, learning and progress.​

We are laying this foundation with the purpose of fearlessly expanding the boundaries of human potential.​
