Chicago Venture Summit
Since its inception in 2014, our region's flagship startup and venture conference has blossomed into one of the nation's most prominent gatherings for startups, investors, and industry innovators. In order to showcase the extraordinary potential of our city, we have expanded the Summit program to include industry-specific series that spotlight Chicago's most promising and high-growth sectors. In 2022 alone, we attracted over 1,500 founders, innovators, Fortune 500 executives, and investors who explored why our city thrives as a global hub for startup investment and industry innovation. This past May, we hosted our largest Chicago Venture Summit ever, with the participation of over 1,000 startups, VC firms, and Fortune 500 companies.
