Esmé — 2200 N Clark St, Chicago, IL 60614

A Michelin-starred table for candid marketing talk.

Located on a quiet corner in Lincoln Park, Esmé is a bright, white-walled gallery where the menu and the art change together every few months. It’s a minimalist space designed to keep the focus on the food and the conversation.

For one night, we’ve reserved a private space for a Superside VIP dinner. We’re bringing a small group together for a great meal and a real conversation, no scripts or pitches, just honest talk with people who are navigating the same marketing challenges you are.

what to expect

Setting the table for something exceptional

We’re intentionally making this evening something a little more special. Leave most of it to us, but here’s what you need to know:
1
Curated company

We believe the soul of a great evening is in the people.

To ensure the conversation is as nuanced as the menu, we’ve thoughtfully curated each evening based on guests’ industry journeys and professional expertise. A table of true peers—leaders who speak the same language, even if they come from different worlds.

2
Before you arrive

To allow you to arrive fully present, we will share a dinner program a week prior to the event.

Consider this your roadmap for the night; it will include profiles of your fellow diners, the evening’s flow and the roundtable prompts that will guide our dialogue. It is designed to give you space to reflect, ensuring you can step into the room ready to engage.

3
A few finishing touches

To ensure you are featured elegantly in the evening’s printed program, we may reach out for a headshot or a brief bio. And as we prepare a menu of such intentionality, we’ll also ask for any dietary requirements when you register.

Good things come to those who RSVP

AI promises transformation. The board and C-level expect acceleration. But marketing leaders are the ones translating ambition into execution.
Join us over an intimate dinner for a private, peer-level conversation on closing the gap between AI expectations and on-the-ground results.


We’ll share candid lessons on where AI delivers real advantage, where it falls short, and how to set smarter strategies, budgets, and success metrics across the marketing funnel from awareness to revenue impact.
