A limited amount of tickets are available to job seekers on a first-come, first-served basis. Those who are unable to attend in person may apply online to certain available opportunities.
Navy Pier, which welcomed more than 9 million guests in 2018, is once again expected to draw high foot traffic this year as more renovated physical spaces come online, including the new hotel’s rooftop venue. The Pier will also continue to offer free, one-of-a kind arts and cultural programming designed to inspire, educate and connect communities across the city and globe.
