About this Event
A Music & Media Networking Experience
Presented by Made in Chicago Series
Chicago is full of talented artists, creatives, entrepreneurs, filmmakers, entertainers, and media professionals—but sometimes the biggest challenge isn’t talent. It’s having the right connections.
THE NETWORK: is a music and media networking experience created to bring Chicago creatives into the same room to connect, collaborate, learn, and create.
This event is designed for artists and creatives who are looking to expand their network, gain industry insight, build genuine relationships, and discover new opportunities within Chicago’s entertainment and creative scene.
