2025 True Chicago Conference

Start Where You Stand: The 2025 True Chicago Conference

Gear up for the next step in your creative saga at this year’s True Chicago Conference. On Saturday, November 8th, 2025, we’re gathering at Columbia College Chicago on one accord; Start Where You Stand. The tools you need to continue building your personal ventures are at your fingertips, now is your time to seize the moment.

In our 8th year, you might be wondering what makes this conference special. The True Chicago Conference is a community-powered reflection of this city's unique and imaginative spirit captured in a single day. You are what makes this gathering special, that’s why we need you here. Glean from professionals who have mastered taking chances, expand your circle and meet like-minded creatives, and dedicate a moment to reigniting your strengths.

We often think that beginning or beginning again requires external markers that ultimately resemble barriers in the long run. The 2025 True Chicago Conference is a moment to look within and find everything you need in all that you already possess. We’re offering the fuel required to be empowered across disciplines; insightful panels, musical performances, hands-on sessions, a powerful keynote, and, of course, lunch.

Whether you’ve been to our events before, or are newly joining the True Chicago community, our goal is to remind you that your ingenuity is essential and valuable, so there is power in your effort!
