Chicago Unfiltered

Unfiltered is centred around personal stories.

Real stories. Real people. No filter.

Five people. Five stories. Five minutes each. That's it! That's the whole thing. No pitching, no hustle, and no "let me tell you about what I do for work." This is just humans, being human.

We strip the polish. We ditch the corporate armour. And we listen.

Unfiltered has given more than 150 people across the globe a stage to say the thing they don't usually say, and now, Chicago, it's your turn. We've brought it to Perth, London, Sydney and Cape Town. And we are fired up to be hitting the 312 for the very first time.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Show up. Have a drink. Listen. That's literally all you need to do.

What comes next? Could be hilarious. Could gut-punch you. Could make you ugly-cry or lose yourself laughing. Humour, tragedy, love, shame, triumph, the mundane - you don't get a preview. You just get in, buckle up, and let it land.

Trust the room. Enjoy the ride.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING

"What stood out to me most was how quickly the room moved from strangers to shared humanity. Grateful to have experienced it!"

"I went home somehow lighter, calmer and with a whole bunch of new stuff and thoughts that wouldn't have been there otherwise. Brilliant evening!"

"A truly brilliant evening of powerful story telling!"

"I’ve attended many events but never experienced anything quite as unique and powerful as this!"

"What an extraordinary evening of storytelling and human connection."

Chicago doesn't do fake. Neither do we. See you there.
