Chicago – IGC Show producers announce Pro Football Hall of Famer Mike Ditka will rally the audience at IGC Show Chicago as one of three free keynotes at Navy Pier this summer.
Ditka is known for amassing a career few can match. He is only the second person to win the Super Bowl as a player (Dallas, 1972), assistant coach (Dallas, 1977) and head coach (Chicago, 1986). In 1982, he assumed "Da Coach" head job with the Chicago Bears, and in 11 years, collected six NFC Central titles, three NFC championship game appearances and the Super Bowl XX title. Today, in addition to sports broadcasting, he owns and operates Ditka's Restaurants, with locations in Chicago and Pittsburgh.
At IGC Show Chicago, Ditka will share his drive to be the best and his team-building skills backed by what he calls "ACE" - Attitude, Character and Enthusiasm. IGC Show Chicago returns to Navy Pier for its 10th anniversary celebration August 16-18. EIGC - The Eastern Show for IGCs introduces a fresh regional focus, August 2-4, at the Valley Forge Casino Resort, Philly Metro Area. Registration opens soon.
