A Night Beneath the Lights of Chicago

For our most valued partners—join us on July 31 for a VIP voyage above Chicago’s iconic skyline.

Step aboard for a private evening of skyline views, signature cocktails, and standout conversation—surrounded by the best of Chicago’s cityscape. You’ll cruise past landmarks like Navy Pier, the Shedd Aquarium, Buckingham Fountain, and the iconic Willis Tower, all glowing under the summer night sky.

This invite-only evening is designed to bring together a select group of PayProTec partners for a one-of-a-kind experience. Seating is extremely limited—your early RSVP secures your place on deck.

Here are some event details:

Date: Thursday, July 31, 2025
Time: 7:00 pm – 11:00 pm (Dockside reception 7:00 – 7:30 pm)
Departure: Burnham Harbor (return by 11:00 pm)

The evening begins with a dockside reception—welcome drinks in hand, appetizers flowing, and the skyline beginning to glow. From there, we set out across Lake Michigan for a front-row view of Chicago’s most iconic landmarks, from Navy Pier to Buckingham Fountain. As twilight settles in, we cruise through the Chicago River, taking in the Wrigley Building, Willis Tower, Art on the Mart, and more—all with curated cocktails and chef-driven bites in hand.

We'll share the official itinerary in a confirmation email after RSVP.

This night is designed to be effortless, elevated, and truly memorable. It’s a rare chance to connect with fellow partners, swap stories, and soak up the city in style.

If you’ve received this invite, you’re on a very short list—and we’d be honored to have you join us.
