2026 Coffee, Connections & Coworking

Settle in at MATTER for a free day of coworking and conversation. Our monthly Coffee, Connections and Coworking meet-up invites entrepreneurs, corporate innovators and curious problem solvers to experience our space and community.

Located in the iconic Merchandise Mart, MATTER’s new office (suite 228) brings together bright natural light, soaring ceilings and views of the Chicago River. You’ll find a thoughtful mix of workstations — desks with large monitors, private phone booths, standing desks, soft seating and collaborative tables — designed to help you stay focused and energized.

We’ll start the morning with coffee and casual conversations among peers. Prefer tea? Our TeaBot is ready to craft your custom blend.

Whether you’re building a healthcare startup, exploring a new idea or looking to connect with like-minded innovators, you’re welcome here. Join us to reset your week, meet new people and the MATTER team and get a feel for the MATTER community.
