Every day in Chicago there are thousands of gatherings to choose from, so where are the best venues to find your people?

Flexible venues for group meetups in Chicago
When starting any new group meetup, attendance tends to be difficult to confirm. Especially when the weather turns to snow, or the venue is far from a person's home. Flexible venues that are affordable and able to house a variable number of group members is best. For community oriented events, check out public school classrooms, fire halls, church spaces, community centers, and nonprofits. Cultural institutions are also eager to help when your meetup aligns with their mission. Language classes for locals is something many cultural institutions would be excited to host.
Other casual meetup venues in Chicago will cost a little to secure, but never a lot. The price tag depends mostly on the size and location of your space. Amenities like bathrooms, audio-visual equipment, and assistant staff matters as well. Hotels, coworking spaces, auditoriums, and libraries are a good place to search for technologically equipped venues. Do you need smart tech, projectors, and computers to display media for your audience? If so then you'd better be sure your chosen venue has it on hand from the onset.
