Visit to Army Enterprise Marketing Office (AEMO) – MEMBERS ONLY

Please join BENS President and CEO General Tim Ray for a tour of the Army Enterprise Marketing Office (AEMO) headquarters on Tuesday, October 1st, 10:30 am-12 pm. We will be joined by Brigadier General Antionette Gant, Chief – AEMO, for a discussion on how the US Army uses aggerated data to achieve national marketing campaigns. BENS members will recall that we hosted a recent roundtable with Brig Gen Gant in May 2024 and this site visit will build off that discussion.

After our visit with AEMO, BENS members will move to Hary Caray’s Italian Steakhouse, 33 W. Kinzie, for a private debrief and lunch with General Ray from 12 pm to 2pm. A very special thank you to Chicago member Rick Simon, President and CEO of United Service Companies, for hosting our luncheon. This promises to be a fascinating day for BENS Chicago, and I hope you can join us. 

Space is limited for the AEMO tour and RSVPs are required to attend both the tour and lunch. Please contact Natalie Callone directly with RSVPs and any questions. I look forward to hearing from you.
