Together Hospitality Chicago Wellness Summit
Join Together Hospitality on January 14 for a focused conversation on wellness in the hospitality industry, centered on practical tools, shared responsibility, and sustainable leadership.
This summit brings together local industry leaders to explore how restaurants and hospitality businesses can better support the mental, physical, and emotional well-being of their teams, while also recognizing the importance of caring for your own personal wellness in an industry that often puts others first. We'll hear from Andrés Clavero, Owner of Galit & Cafe Yaya, Ben Kohn, Executive Director of Hope For The Day, Richard Earney, National Wellness Director for Midtown Athletic Club, and Jess Syburg, Director of Sales and Hospitality at Maxwells.
Together, we’ll discuss how to build meaningful wellness initiatives, identify accessible resources for your teams, and share actionable takeaways you can apply immediately within your business. The morning will begin with a guided meditative breathing exercise led by Ally Member John Burks, setting the tone for a thoughtful, grounded conversation.
Whether you’re just beginning to think about wellness or looking to strengthen existing efforts, this session is designed to meet you where you are and help move the industry forward together.
