chicago, il (western suburbs) Chapter
As creators, we know how important it is to be connected to others and learn from each other. We've all experienced what it's like to get stuck and trying to deal with it alone never seems to work out. Everyone has something to give, and you'll find that the more you pour out, the more you'll be filled.
Join us to unite, create and evolve as a community of small businesses no matter if you are seasoned or just starting out. We want you to thrive, not just survive! Each month we meet up and pass on information for you to expand your knowledge running your business on not only the front end, but the back end.
From this dream, TuesdaysTogether meetings were born. A meetup on the second Tuesday of every month where creatives + entrepreneurs would gather together for coffee and conversation. An open space for idea sharing and goal building. Separated by distance, but beautifully united by a shared desire to empower the creative economy. After COVID we changed it up and nowadays we meet at different times to accommodate all of our members.
Meet-ups will vary from city to city and each leader has the freedom to cultivate gatherings that best fit their local area. However, most gatherings include a discussion on the topic of the month followed by an open question and answer segment. Whether you’ve been in business for five years or five days, there are always new tips and tricks emerging in the marketplace. It is our hope that by creating a safe space for open dialog and idea sharing we can help one another to thrive.
We believe that getting out from behind your computer and building true relationships with other creative entrepreneurs is an incredible tool for success. By joining a meet-up you can expect to learn new business tips directly from your colleagues, grow in confidence, and find a network of compassionate professionals in your local area.
Most meetups occur once a month at local coffee shops, but for more details about exact meeting times, make sure you join your area’s Facebook group. Sometimes we meet virtually so we can continue to cheer each other on. You can find local groups and their Facebook pages. through our group map.

Meet-ups are gatherings for small business owners who have a desire to share their knowledge, learn from their peers, and grow together. The meetings, coordinated by local industry leaders, are designed to be approachable, authentic, and uplifting. Each month, we’ll be releasing an overarching topic to kickstart the conversation and allowing the gathering to flow from there!
