Chicago Women in Business Shine at Our Second Annual Speed Networking Event
Chicago’s powerhouse women in business came together for an unforgettable evening of connection and collaboration at our Second Annual Speed Networking Event at City Winery West Loop Powered by Honeybook. With the buzz of meaningful conversations, the strumming of live acoustic tunes, and the exchange of countless business cards, theres a reason this event sells out every year. We only host this format once a year for professional women looking to expand their networks in a fun and efficient way.
Every Extrovert’s Super Bowl
Networking can sometimes feel overwhelming, but our speed networking format ensured that every attendee had the chance to make multiple valuable connections in a structured, time-efficient manner. With each four-minute round, participants had the opportunity to introduce themselves, exchange insights, and spark potential collaborations. Keeping the evening on track was our phenomenal MC, Akua, who brought energy, enthusiasm, and perfect timekeeping skills to keep the conversations flowing.
Live Music & “Totes of Connections”
A networking event isn’t just about exchanging business cards—it’s about creating an experience that leaves a lasting impact. Yazz Events set the perfect ambiance with beautiful live acoustic music. To ensure attendees had a stylish and practical way to carry their newfound connections, KSM Promotions provided branded totes, making it easy to keep business cards and notes organized throughout the event. Adding to the excitement, Golden Capture Photo Booth provided a fun and interactive way for attendees to snap memorable moments, capturing the energy and camaraderie of the night with keepsake photos. We love how she added a line to each photo for attendees to write on.
