Why are you changing the Chicago Venture Summit?

This is in response to the many proposals and requests we received, in the context that this is the third edition of the Future-of-Food for the Chicago Venture Summit series. We agree with our partners, and decided to explore this new format in 2024.

What about the summit day at 167?

This new Future-of-Food format will allow for a new multi-partner, multi-stage experience. We’re going on the one-day, one-stage format, and expanding Future-of-Food into a full week. As of now, no events will take place at 167 N Green St.

How can I learn more about events during Future-of-Food Week?

We will continue to work with our various partners, and share more details on our official www.ChicagoVentureSummit.com website. If you’d like to submit a partner event, please contact Lauren Backe!

Will the full-day Chicago Venture Summit come back?

he Chicago Venture Summit series is an official flagship program for World Business Chicago. While we’re now entirely focused on Future-of-Food Week this May 20-23, we hope to share future announcements about the summit series later this summer.

What about the startup portfolio?

We would like to continue the startup portfolio with the new Future-of-Food Week format. We’ll be updating the startup portfolio application with all necessary information, and the unique benefits for those startups accepted to the portfolio.

How can we RSVP for events?

Future-of-Food Week will be focused on invitations for startup entrepreneurs, investors, and food industry leaders. Access to individual events will be determined by the respective event lead.
