Reflections & Predictions: 2025 Year-End Celebration

Join the Chicagoland Food & Beverage Network (CFBN) for our annual year-end review and celebration on Wednesday, December 10th.

We’re closing out 2025 with an unforgettable evening of reflection, networking, and festive cheer. As the year winds down, we'll look back at the key trends, innovations, and learnings that defined the food and beverage industry in 2025. You'll hear reflections from industry leaders who will share their professional and personal insights from the year, along with their goals and predictions for what’s to come in 2026.

After the discussion, we will also do our annual networking games for fun and prizes and you can enjoy amazing networking, festive food, and drinks while taking in breathtaking views of the skyline and Chicago River from the stunning rooftop deck (weather permitting) of our hosts, Edelman. With the downtown festivities just steps away, it's the perfect opportunity to kick off your holiday season.

Don’t miss this chance to celebrate with your industry colleagues and friends.
