Latina Exchange Holiday Gala

Celebrate Latina leadership with 150+ Latina professionals, including dinner, live music & festive networking! La Mesa Que Construimos: Latina Exchange’s 2nd Annual Holiday Gala The most meaningful rooms aren’t always found. They’re built. Join Latina Exchange for La Mesa Que Construimos, our second annual holiday gala celebrating the women who are building, growing, and shaping Chicago’s Latina professional community. Year One was just the beginning. Together, we hosted 15 sold-out dinners, welcomed over 400 Latinas into our community, grew our Instagram community to 2,200+ women, and gathered 143 Latinas for our inaugural gala at the Chicago Union League Club. Now, we’re opening Year Two by celebrating what we’ve built and the women who continue to build it with us. What to expect ✨ Celebrate the year: Hear how Latina Exchange has grown and what’s ahead for Year Two. 🏆 Member Recognition: We’ll honor five Latina Exchange members whose leadership, presence, and contributions have strengthened our community. 🎤 Building the Room We Wished We Had: Hear from founders and community builders who have created the spaces, businesses, and opportunities they once wished existed. 💫 Keynote: Close out the evening with an inspiring message 🥂 La Sobremesa: Because the best part of gathering is often what happens after the formal program. Stay, connect, and meet the women around your table. 🎶 A Special musical performance 📸 Holiday moments: Come dressed in your festive best, enjoy photo ops & a mini special gift This isn't just another holiday gala. It’s a room built by Latinas, for Latinas and an invitation to pull up a chair. Your ticket includes dinner, wine, entertainment, programming, networking, and an evening celebrating the community we’re building together. Check out our IG for more event updates: @latina_exchange
