Let us know your CISC 2024 Experience here:

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts

We are so grateful for the incredible experience it is to share, year after year, the joy, love, and success of our community at the 23rd Chicago International Salsa Congress.

We could not do it without our incredible CISC family, including those working tirelessly behind the scenes and those shining brightly on our stages and workshop rooms, as well as the heartbeat of our event – you.

We hope this year’s event left you inspired and energized for the year ahead, and that you continue to embrace the opportunities to dance and celebrate life and culture! For those who supported us through service, sponsorship, or other support, we are grateful and hope you were as proud as we were this weekend.

We enthusiastically offer our sincere admiration and appreciation for every artist who came and shared their talent on the CISC stage – we are amazed and incredibly proud of the effort and dedication shown by all.

The live music concerts that distinguish our event offered a beat for music lovers of all kinds, and we are thrilled about all of the excitement you shared about Johnny Blas, Tromboranga Salsa Orchestra, Bobby Valentin, Paquito Acosta, and for the first time ever, Issac Delgado Jr. y la WaWa feat. Gerardo Contino and Michel Gonzalez. A huge thanks to the stars of our concert series!

To our sponsors, patrons, contributors, co-promotional partners, media and social media partners – our sincere thanks for your trust in our ability to continue to deserve your support. We could not do this without you.

A tremendous thank you to our Presenting Sponsor, and dear friend, Ms. Myrna Bromley, CISC Executive Board member, 2024 Presenting Sponsor and founder of Myrna’s Closet Wear, who not only shares our mission and is a key strategic contributor. There are no words to express the gratitude we feel for her generosity of spirit, patronage, and we look forward to our continued work together in shaping the future of the CISC.

So with everyone safely home and/or off to their next great adventure, we say thank you from the bottom of our hearts for coming together again. Stay tuned for 2025 dates and early-bird savings on passes on social media and via email. Finally, if you loved it, share CISC with a friend!

We can’t wait to see you next year.

Until then, be well,
Saladeen, Rosita, Gina and Myrna
