Visiting Chicago (from Minneapolis) Thursday and Friday to make introductions. I’m a freelance senior integrated content producer. Any recommendations?

The freelance market is over saturated here. There have been many layoffs over the past two years. As a result, the freelance talent pool have doubled. Your best bet is to introduce yourself to all the heads of production and see if they will meet with you. No one is going to give you any leads. FYI: LA is a better market right now.
