Frequently Asked Questions




Host an industry networking event in Chicago

Industry networking events are a great way to bring bright minds and entrepreneurial talents together under one roof. Networking events have many potential benefits. They give industry professionals a place to socialize and renew relationships between team members. People who might otherwise have never met get to chat in real-time, discuss work related topics. Or simply relax and get to know each other beyond their professional duties.
Networking events also help new people meet each other, exchange ideas, and potentially contact information for future collaboration. During a networking event there may also be public speakers; authorities in the industry that give updates on the latest and most exciting developments. Some will also include catering from a local service, restaurant, or event provider.

Professional networking event spaces in Chicago

Networking events can be held in almost any space but professional level ones will have amenities and an appropriate setting. Office buildings are a common choice, especially for professions that would operate out of one. But you can hold them in more flexible spaces like warehouses, lofts, and hotel conference rooms. These venues offer walls with space for posters, screens, and other informative media. And plenty of room for seating, panel discussion areas, company booths, and other essentials.

Explore tech-friendly networking venues in Chicago

Now that you've got an idea of how to host a networking event, have you considered what sort of amenities the venue should provide? Technology is critical to the success of any event but even more so when giving people the chance to network. Open and fast internet access gives attendees the ability to quickly look up new information, exchange media, and share contact information. Projectors, speakers, and other audio-visual technology also helps presenters get their ideas across to the audience.
Tech-friendly networking venues include coworking spaces, libraries, and the conference rooms of libraries, universities, and hotels. These venues offer flexible rental schemes, with low rates and hourly, daily, or weekly timetables. Tech-friendly venues are often closer to downtown as well, which means easier access thanks to the Chicago CTA network. Not having to navigate the city's complex and expensive car parking regime is a sure way to boost your attendance rate. Especially if you're expecting guests from out of state. Given the number, price, and flexibility of networking venues here, Chicago is an excellent place to hold yours. Even if you're coming from overseas.
