Chicago Grassroots Tech Community Meetup - May
We are bringing together technologists from across Chicagoland: founders, engineers, product builders, designers, data professionals, students, and anyone who cares about tech for real, in-person connection.
No pitches. No decks. No long presentations.
Just conversations, ideas, and people worth meeting.
What to expect:
• Meet others working in AI, startups, engineering, design, data, and more
• Find collaborators, mentors, or cofounders
• Share what you are building and learn what others are doing
• A casual and open format where you can show up, talk, and connect
Why this matters:
Chicagoland has talent spread across many neighborhoods and communities. This meetup is a first step toward building a tech community that feels closer, more accessible, and genuinely useful.
Who should come:
Anyone in tech or tech-curious ( Founders, Technologists. Students, investors) who wants to meet people, exchange ideas, or help shape a stronger local ecosystem. Find mentors, new co-workers, co-foudners or just friends who also dabble in all things tech.
Location: Downtown Chicago. Venue will be announced soon.
Cost: Free (or a small contribution if you choose to add one)
