Chicago Emerging Tech Exchange: Founder, Investor & Tech Mixer

An in-person Chicago mixer bringing founders, investors, and tech professionals together to exchange ideas and connect. Chicago Emerging Tech Exchange: Founder, Investor & Tech Mixer is an in-person event for founders, investors, and people in tech. Technology networking does not need a stage full of pitches or a crowded conference floor. Chicago Emerging Tech Exchange is a small-format gathering for founders, investors, engineers, product professionals, operators, and people working across Chicago's technology community. The evening combines structured roundtables with relaxed professional conversation. Emerging Tech Roundtables Facilitated groups explore topics such as: • AI and automation; • SaaS and cloud products; • emerging software platforms; • health technology; • product development; • responsible technology adoption. Discussions focus on experiences, questions, and general industry perspectives. Founder & Project Conversation Founders and builders may briefly describe projects they are developing and ask the group for general feedback. This is not a pitch competition or fundraising session. Participants should not disclose confidential product information, private financial information, customer databases, credentials, or proprietary material they are not authorized to share. Open Tech Exchange The final portion allows participants to continue conversations, exchange professional contact information voluntarily, and explore possible future collaboration. The event does not guarantee investor meetings, funding, clients, jobs, referrals, partnerships, or business outcomes. Aggressive sales pitching, investment solicitation, MLM promotion, lead harvesting, and repeated unwanted follow-up are not permitted.
