NBMBAA, Chicago Chapter Summer Soirée 2026
About this Event
Chicago Looks Better Together
Join the National Black MBA Association Chicago Chapter for our Annual Rooftop Summer Soirée, an elevated afternoon created for Chicago’s professionals, executives, entrepreneurs, and community leaders.
On Saturday, August 15, we are bringing together great people, rooftop views, incredible food, music, and premium cocktails for one of the summer’s most anticipated social experiences.
This is more than another networking event. It is an opportunity to reconnect with familiar faces, make meaningful new connections, and celebrate summer with a dynamic community of professionals who know how to work hard, build relationships, and enjoy the moment.
Your Ticket Includes
- A full open bar
- Specialty cocktails featuring BAYAB, VUSA, and Sango
- An exclusive Koval tasting experience
- A delicious selection of savory bites and desserts
- Music and an elevated rooftop atmosphere
- Meaningful connections with Chicago professionals, executives, entrepreneurs, and community leaders
Whether you come with friends, colleagues, or on your own, expect an afternoon that feels less like traditional networking and more like the summer gathering you did not want to miss.
Featured Spirits Experiences
This year’s Summer Soirée will feature specialty cocktails highlighting BAYAB, VUSA, and Sango, bringing distinctive flavors and globally inspired spirits to the rooftop.
Guests will also have the opportunity to enjoy a special tasting experience from Koval, one of Chicago’s most recognized independent distilleries.
Come ready to discover something new, raise a glass, and enjoy an unforgettable afternoon in the city.
Connections With a Purpose
Your ticket does more than give you access to an exceptional event. A portion of the proceeds supports the Chicago Chapter’s Leaders of Tomorrow program, which helps prepare high school students for college, careers, and leadership.
When you attend the Summer Soirée, you are investing in your network while helping create opportunities for the next generation of leaders.
