The chauffeured transportation industry is strongest when operators, vendors, associations, and technology partners come together to share ideas, solve challenges, and support one another. That is why Limo Anywhere is proud to help promote the 2026 Great Lakes Transportation Show, hosted by the Illinois Limousine & Bus Association on May 11–12, 2026, in Itasca, Illinois.

A Strong Association Making a Real Industry Impact
The Illinois Limousine & Bus Association has long been an important voice for operators in Illinois, the Greater Chicago area, and the broader ground transportation community. ILLBA continues to support operators through education, communication, relationship-building, and industry advocacy.
At Limo Anywhere, we have seen firsthand the positive impact ILLBA has had on the industry. This is an organization that consistently shows up for operators, vendors, and partners. Its leadership has gone above and beyond to support companies in its market, create space for collaboration, and help move the industry forward.
We also want to recognize Paula DeBiasi and the ILLBA leadership team for their continued commitment to the transportation community. Their work has helped strengthen the industry and create more opportunities for operators to connect, learn, and grow.
Why Limo Anywhere Customers Should Attend
Running a transportation company requires constant adaptation. Customer expectations evolve, technology changes, staffing remains a priority, and operators must continue to make smart decisions around pricing, fleet management, service quality, sales, and profitability.
Events like the Great Lakes Transportation Show create a rare opportunity to step out of the day-to-day operation and focus on the bigger picture.
Learn From the Industry
Attendees can gain valuable insights from industry leaders, peers, vendors, and operators who understand the realities of running a transportation business.
Build Better Relationships
Whether you are looking to grow affiliate partnerships, meet new vendors, reconnect with operators, or expand your network, this event provides a focused environment to make meaningful connections.
Find New Growth Ideas
From operations and technology to customer experience and business development, operators can leave with practical ideas to help improve and grow their companies.
Why Operators Should Help Promote the Event
Even if your company is not based in Illinois, the Great Lakes Transportation Show deserves attention from the broader chauffeured transportation community. Industry events become stronger when operators help spread the word, invite peers, and encourage participation.
Promoting the event helps increase attendance, strengthen regional and national operator networks, support vendors who invest in the industry, and create more opportunities for education, collaboration, and shared problem solving.
For Limo Anywhere customers, sharing this event with your network is a simple way to support an association that has consistently contributed to the growth and professionalism of the industry.
Why Vendors and Industry Partners Should Consider Sponsoring
For vendors, suppliers, and service providers, the Great Lakes Transportation Show is a valuable opportunity to connect directly with transportation decision-makers. Events like this give sponsors and exhibitors the chance to build visibility, strengthen relationships, and participate in conversations that matter to the industry.
Sponsorship also demonstrates support for the associations and operators who continue to move the chauffeured transportation industry forward. Companies interested in sponsorship or exhibitor opportunities should contact ILLBA directly to confirm current availability.
Limo Anywhere is proud to support the Illinois Limousine & Bus Association and the work it continues to do for the transportation industry. ILLBA has been a valued partner to Limo Anywhere, and we are grateful for the leadership, collaboration, and commitment the organization brings to operators and industry partners.
Events like the Great Lakes Transportation Show are exactly what our industry needs: a place for operators to learn, connect, share ideas, support each other, and leave with a stronger sense of direction.
If you are a Limo Anywhere customer, we encourage you to attend, promote the event within your network, and support ILLBA’s continued efforts to strengthen the ground transportation industry.
