LAKE FOREST, Ill. – Quarterback Jay Cutler is scheduled to headline a Q&A seminar that’s also slated to include running back Matt Forte, tackle Orlando Pace and tight end Greg Olsen at Bears Expo May 17 at Soldier Field.

Quarterback Jay Cutler was acquired by the Bears in a blockbuster trade with Denver.

The seminar, which figures to be the biggest draw of the annual event, will begin at 1:30 p.m. Cutler, Forte, Pace and Olsen will also be participants in a Scratch and Win autograph session.

Other Bears players slated to attend include middle linebacker Brian Urlacher, defensive tackles Anthony Adams and Marcus Harrison, wide receiver Earl Bennett, defensive end Alex Brown, cornerbacks Corey Graham, Trumaine McBride and Nate Vasher, quarterback Caleb Hanie, punter Brad Maynard, long-snapper Patrick Mannelly, linebacker Nick Roach, safety Craig Steltz and offensive tackle Chris Williams.

Bears alumni scheduled to be on hand include Doug Buffone, Ronnie Bull, Richard Dent, Steve McMichael, Emery Moorehead, Jim Morrissey, Gale Sayers, Revie Sorey, Matt Suhey, Tom Thayer and Keith Van Horne.

Bears Expo will help kick off the 2009 season and feature autograph sessions, seminars, locker room tours, Q&A sessions, an interactive area for kids, field activities and Bears merchandise.

Other seminars with players, coaches and front office personnel will include Inside the Bears, Meet the Coordinators, Football Tales, Game Time Equipment and Meet the Rookies.

Just like last year, the 2009 Bears Expo will feature scratch-off autographs and additional autograph tables throughout Soldier Field. The event will be conducted from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. with doors opening at 9:30 a.m. Tickets cost $35 for adults and $20 for children.
