Bally’s Chicago is proud to announce its 2nd Annual Vendor Fair, taking place on Wednesday, June 25, 2025, at the Chicago Teachers Union Hall, 1901 W Carroll Ave. This dynamic event is designed to connect local vendors with Bally Chicago’s procurement teams and other industry leaders, offering a unique opportunity to explore partnerships that support the casino’s wide-ranging operational needs. Vendors specializing in food and beverage, hospitality supplies, security, HR, maintenance, entertainment production, marketing, facility management, technology, and construction are encouraged to attend.
Attendees will have the opportunity to connect directly with Bally’s departments to learn about current and upcoming procurement needs. The fair will also feature representatives from other local casinos, including American Place, Penn Gaming, Rivers, and Wind Creek, who are interested in meeting vendors for potential purchasing partnerships. Trades professionals will be able to meet with Bally’s General Contractor to discuss opportunities related to the $1.7 billion permanent casino project currently underway.
In addition to networking with casino representatives, businesses can learn about the diversity certification process for MBE, WBE, VBE, and BEPD designations and how to register. Local banking professionals will be on hand to provide guidance on accessing capital, while business development organizations will offer tools and resources to help local businesses grow and thrive.
Vendors interested in joining Bally’s Community Rewards Program will find dedicated resources and information available at the event. Admission is free, and registration is encouraged to ensure access to all presentations and networking opportunities.
