​Good Soil Tour, in partnership with City of Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson

​Thursday, June 11, 2026 | 10:00 AM-4:00 PM
Chicago | Invitation Only due to Limited Capacity

​The Good Soil Movement, co-founded by T.D. Jakes, is a national entrepreneurship initiative focused on accelerating the formation and growth of employer entrepreneurs by reducing friction between insight and execution, particularly at the intersection of capital, policy, procurement, technology, and strategic partnership.

​This Chicago convening is part of our national tour and has been intentionally designed to be small, senior-level, and outcome-oriented. In addition to institutional leaders, we are also assembling a strong cohort of Chicagoland employer entrepreneurs and scale-ready solopreneurs to engage in peer-level dialogue focused on practical pathways to growth.

​Confirmed participants include senior leaders from organizations such as:
• Business Leadership Council • Chicago Urban League
• National Minority Supplier Development Council (NMSDC)
• Wells Fargo
• T.D. Jakes Enterprises

​This is not a conference. It is a working convening, intentionally limited in size to provide depth, discretion, and meaningful connection.

​Our goal is simple: create proximity to progress.

​Capacity is limited. Registration closes once full.

​We look forward to gathering with builders, investors, and leaders committed to advancing entrepreneurship in Chicago and beyond.
