She Builds – A Women in Business Celebration for F&B & CPG

She Builds – Celebrating National American Business Women’s Day

This September we’re taking a different approach to celebrating American Business Women's Day in the F&B and CPG world.

We’re gathering founders, makers, brand builders, and operators in Chicago and surrounding areas for an evening that’s part networking, part real talk, part celebration:

Meet & Mingle with other F&B and CPG Brands – casual, unhurried connections with people who actually get what it’s like to run or scale a F&B or CPG brand.

Live Panel, Zero Filter – women sharing the wins and how they’re advancing through the business landscape, their learnings, and the messy middle of building in this industry.

The Big Questions Wall – there will be a Q&A with our panelists, but the spotlight is on this interactive experience. We’ll post the tough questions on giant windows and invite everyone to add their own answers and insights. By the end of the night, we’ll have a living snapshot of what it means to be a woman in F&B and CPG today—and how we’re all moving forward together.

When: 30th September, 5-8pm

Where: Fulton East, 215 N Peoria St, Chicago, IL 60607

Cost: Free (Complimentary drinks included)

Come if you want honest conversation, practical connections, and a reason to toast the women shaping Chicago’s F&B and CPG scene.
