Connected Cuisine: Impact-Oriented Conversations Over Dinner
A gathering for meaningful conversation, shared meals, and local connection in Chicago.
Looking to meet other people working in social impact in your city? Join us for a cozy evening of food, conversation, and community-building over dinner.
Whether you’re new to the field or have been doing this work for years, this is a space to connect with others who care deeply about purpose, justice, and creating real change — and who are also hungry (literally and figuratively).
What to expect:
A relaxed dinner setting with fellow impact-driven folks
Space to share what brought you into this work — and where you're headed
Conversations that go beyond small talk
A welcoming, low-pressure vibe — come as you are
