Cocktails & Cards - Deal Her In

Join us at Adalina in Chicago’s Gold Coast neighborhood—an iconic area known for its stylish streets, standout dining, and lively energy—for an afternoon of life skills, great company, and the kind of conversations that don’t happen over a group text.

This isn't a poker lesson. It's an evening of life skills you'll actually use — confidence, strategic thinking, negotiation, and social intelligence — taught through a game that gets you using them in real time. Poker is the method. The skills are the point. And you'll use them in your next meeting, your next hard conversation, your next negotiation.

Poker Power has shared the power of poker with 380,000+ women, across 400+ companies, in 70+ countries.

Here's what the event looks like

• Wine, beer, and non-alcoholic drinks throughout — and light bites
• A fast, energetic kickoff — no experience needed, nothing that feels like a classroom
• Live, interactive play at your table with a Poker Power instructor guiding every hand

Who it's for

Women, 21+ — recent grads, mid-career pros, and everyone in between. Bring a friend or come on your own. Tables mix you with other women doing exactly what you're doing, so by the second hand, you'll know everyone at yours.

What you'll walk out with

• Skills you'll use in your next meeting, not someday
• A story you'll be telling at your next dinner
• New friends — the kind of women who signed up for the same unexpected experience
• The quiet satisfaction of having spent a Saturday on something that actually counted

A few things worth knowing

• No poker experience required. Really.
• No gambling. Poker Power is for educational purposes — no money is ever exchanged at the table.
• Wear whatever makes you feel great.
• Please be seated by 1:30 pm to ensure gameplay kicks off on time!

Deal yourself in.
