Your Independent, Innovative, & Invested Chicago DMC.
On The Scene Chicago is a local Event Management Company comprised of experts in the DMC industry. We’ve been rooted in Chicago for over 50 years, and pride ourselves on our unique and innovative approach to creating events that compliment your corporate culture and program goals.
We have coordinated thousands of programs for hundreds of global corporations visiting Chicago for corporate programs. While every event is intentionally designed and curated with our clients, we oversee all logistics. You have attendees to host – leave the event execution to us.


Local Expertise & Insider Knowledge
As Owner of On The Scene Chicago and Chicagoan for the past 20 years, my team and I bring unmatched local expertise and insider knowledge that large, national DMCs simply can’t achieve.
From transforming the lower level of the Chicago Hilton hotel into a beach with 2,000 tons of sand, to building BMX ramps for a SoCal-themed party, we thrive on going the extra mile and bringing the full creative vision for your event to life.
If you have an upcoming corporate event in Chicago, we’d love to explore becoming your behind-the-scenes partner and unlocking the full potential of your event.
