Two Casual Networking EventsAll work and no play isn’t good for anyone! We’ve planned two fun, casual networking events for you. Relax in the hotel’s private movie theatre during our “Wine, Dine and Unwind” (optional) event. Then after the conference, join us for a Happy Hour Reception where you can enjoy drinks and amazing views of downtown Chicago.

Give Back Opportunity: Dress for Success

We are collecting gently used women’s business attire to donate to “Dress for Success.” Bring your fabulous suits and other professional apparel and accessories that could furnish another woman with the confidence to enter or return to the workplace, make a great first impression and land a job that could change her life. Please donate items that are freshly dry-cleaned/ laundered and ironed, not more than 5 years old, and suitable for wearing to job interviews.
