Every year Starwood Hotels & Resorts – parent company to Westin Hotels & Resorts hosts an America’s KICKOFF in a different North American city. KICKOFF invites each Hotel’s Sales, Catering and Marketing Teams and General Managers from across North and Latin America to join in attendance. This year, over 2500 descended onto Chicago for 3 days of educational workshops, celebrations of 2014 successes, keynotes from Starwood Senior Leadership and of course many special events that showcased the best of Starwood Culinary & Mixology.

Canadian properties are known for adding a little POP to its presence at KICKOFF so the Vancity Original® t-shirts simply served as a symbol of our team’s unity & spirit of being Canadian in Chicago this year. 

Big shout out to the Westin Bayshore team for representing Vancity Original® at their KICKOFF event in Chicago!
