WOMMfest Spotlight: Buddy Guy

WOMMfest is hitting the road and stopping at one of the most talked about locations in all Chicago: Buddy Guy's Legends.

On February 19, marketers from across the country will gather to celebrate the tactics and ideas that get people talking. In Chicago, marketers will meet and greet at Buddy Guy's Legends. Guy was recently honored at the Kennedy Center Honors Gala in Washington D.C.

The influential guitarist and Chicago bluesman received the prestigious national award for his lifetime contribution to the arts. The award is the nation's highest honor bestowed on those who have influenced American culture through the arts.
