Chicago Tech Collective @ Joy District - Wednesday September 23rd

This isn’t your typical networking event. No random crowds. Just a room of high-quality people looking to build real connections

Chicago Tech Collective is a community built for people who are actively shaping what’s next in Chicago’s tech ecosystem.

We bring together founders, engineers, operators, product leaders, and connectors who care about building, sharing ideas, and surrounding themselves with the right people.

Most networking events are random. You show up, have a few surface-level conversations, and leave without meeting the people you actually hoped to meet.

This is different.

This event is designed to create a more intentional environment where conversations have depth, connections feel natural, and the people in the room are aligned in mindset.

You can expect:

• A room full of builders, operators, and driven thinkers
• Conversations focused on ideas, growth, and what people are actually working on
• A more thoughtful, curated feel without the pressure of forced networking
• A relaxed environment to connect naturally over food and drinks

This event is also about shaping the future of Chicago Tech Collective. As the community grows, future gatherings will become even more curated and tailored to the people in it.

If you’re building, creating, or simply want to be around people who are, you’ll feel at home here.

Spots are limited to keep the experience intentional.

Ticket Options:

* Standard Registration: Available through September 22nd $25

* Day of the Event Registration: September 23rd $30
