Chicago Tech Connect Breakfast

​Join us for Chicago Tech Connect, a morning dedicated to exploring, connecting, and celebrating Chicago’s dynamic tech ecosystem. Organized by World Business Chicago and Tech Equity Organizations, this breakfast event brings together innovators, organizations, and tech enthusiasts from across the city for inspiration, collaboration, and hands-on engagement. This is an evolution of the past GET Cities and World Business Chicago Exploration Days.

​Start your morning with a light breakfast and casual networking, then hear from a keynote speaker leading the conversation on innovation, equity, and growth in Chicago tech. Instead of traditional panels, attendees will participate in small group discussions hosted by leading organizations in the city.

​Agenda includes:

​8:30 – 9:00 am Breakfast & Networking
9:00 – 9:20 am Keynote Speaker- Galaxia Martin, SDI Presence
9:30 – 10:30 am Group Conversations / Breakout Discussions
Attendees will be organized into 2–3 small groups, rotating through short conversations led by host organizations.

​10:30 – 11:00 am Closing & Networking

​Attendees will be compensated with a $20 digital Gift Card based on their attendance.

​Afterwards, Give back to the community by volunteering at THINKChicago Launchpad!  In partnership with City Colleges of Chicago, WBC’s THINKChicago is hosting 100+ community college students across Chicagoland for an action-packed day of tech career development and exploration.
