Paylocity Leadership Summit 2025: Powering a Five-Program Partnership

Chicago, IL | May 2025
Sheraton Grand Chicago Riverwalk
5th Program in our Partnership

Snapshot

For the 2025 Paylocity Leadership Summit, Vario delivered full-scale production across the general session, breakout rooms, registration footprint, and reception environments, ensuring every touchpoint felt connected to the same leadership story. The experience was anchored by a 16’4″ x 36’ LED wall that supported dynamic content, presenter visibility, and brand-forward visuals, all within a union labor venue that required precise planning and clear communication with onsite partners.

The program demanded advanced coordination across vendors and internal teams, transparent budgeting and proposal work that gave Paylocity clear options and tradeoffs, and executive-level rehearsal support to refine keynotes and leadership presentations before showtime. As Paylocity’s production partner for five programs thus far, Vario balanced consistency and innovation, evolving scenic, content, and technical design to keep the summit fresh while reinforcing a trusted, collaborative relationship built over multiple years.
