Be Part of Chicago Returns

 

Torque is super proud to be a big part of the Chicago Returns coalition, energizing the return of businesses and their people to the office and to downtown. We’ve joined the committee to brand the programs, support the marketing efforts, build publicity and contribute social media content in partnership with BOMA and a host of other Chicago real estate notables. 

Chicago Returns is the BIG PUSH Week. Everyone is encouraged to come downtown and connect - from office tenants to hotels, restaurants and bars to entertainment venues and of course the museums, libraries and all the many other great Chicago institutions. 

Chicago Returns Week, May 2, 2022, is a commemorative kickoff and celebration of it all. It’s a chance for you and your organization to add your voice and presence to the vibrancy of the city all week long. There will be many chances to win prizes, participate in outdoor activities and so much more. Not to be missed!
