LINCOLNSHIRE, Ill., Nov. 20, 2024 – Setting the stage for business-to-business growth in 2025, LG Business Solutions USA hosted a day-long partner and customer event at its Chicago Business Innovation Center (BIC).

“The Chicago LG Business Innovation Center (BIC), like our BICs in California and New Jersey, is designed for precisely this kind of customer and partner experience,” explained LG Business Solutions USA’s marketing head Dave Bacher. “The Innovember Fest may be the first time we brought together so many customers and partners from across all the verticals we serve for a productive day of education, connection and entertainment at a BIC, but it certainly won’t be the last time we do. Everyone who participated came away from the experience better informed about each other’s technologies and, more importantly, how their offerings complement those by LG.”

“It was thrilling to see so many retail, hospitality, higher education, K-12, corporate, sports and entertainment, systems integration, distribution, banking, tradeshows and marketing customers all come together to share their stories with one another and with the LG team,” Bacher said.  “We all learned a great deal that will help us to better serve our customers in the future.”
