SUMMARY:RAGEher Queer
DESCRIPTION:RAGEher Queer is a sacred\, embodied space for Queer\, trans\, nonbinary\, and gender-expansive beings shaped by the experience of womanhood—to move\, feel\, and reclaim what the world has tried to erase. \nIt’s a space to scream\, sob\, and shake with others who get it. For queer femmes\, women\, and fluid folks who refuse to disappear.

SUMMARY:So\, You Want To Start A Business?
DESCRIPTION:Hosted during TechChicago Week in partnership with TechNexus \nIn a climate shaped by layoffs\, career pivots\, and rapid technological change\, more people are asking the same question: \n“What can I build for myself?” \nThis event brings together founders\, investors\, creatives\, and operators for an honest\, grounded conversation about entrepreneurship\, AI-era opportunity\, and building with limited resources. \nThis is not a startup fantasy panel. \nIt is a real-world conversation about turning skills into income\, ideas into businesses\, and uncertainty into momentum — especially for those building without massive funding\, insider access\, or large teams. \nWhat We’ll Explore:\n• Turning career pivots into business opportunities\n• What actually makes an idea viable\n• How founders are using AI + lean tools to launch faster\n• Starting with limited capital\, clarity\, or time\n• Identity\, resilience\, and access in entrepreneurship\n• What it really takes to build something sustainable \nWhat to Expect:\n✨ Actionable founder insights\n✨ Investor + operator perspectives\n✨ High-impact networking\n✨ Real conversations (not surface-level startup talk)\n✨ Complimentary drinks (21+) \nImportant Notes:\nThis is a limited-capacity TechChicago Week event experience. RSVP does not guarantee entry once capacity is reached. \nRefund Policy:\nAll ticket sales are final. Due to limited capacity and the curated nature of this TechChicago Week event experience\, we are unable to offer refunds. Tickets may be transferred to another guest with at least 24 hours’ notice to the host. \nBy registering\, you agree to these terms. \nSecure your spot early.
