Deodato Hosts: Growth Roundtable. Chicago Edition.

​We’re bringing together a small group of Chicago growth and marketing leaders for an off the record dinner about what’s actually driving incremental growth right now and how teams are adapting their channel mix as AI, attribution, and consumer behavior shift rapidly.

Our team at Deodato runs growth for Blistex, Rent the Runway, Fora, and Levain Bakery. Strategy, SEO/AEO, creative, CRO, retail media, affiliate, all one team. Operating this way has strengthened our perspective on today's growth priorities versus outdated strategies. We want to share these insights and learn from our peer group.

What you can expect from the evening: 30-60 minutes cocktail hour to get to know each other, followed by a 1.5-2 hour dinner. Some of the dinner will have a more structured conversation agenda, and we'll end the night with 15-20 minutes of ADA—Ask Deodato Anything.

The evening is designed to be relaxed and intentional, with a small group, great company, good food, and space to connect with peers in a setting that doesn't feel like a typical industry event.
