About this Event

Festival meet cutes. Travel whirlwind romance. Beach day bonding.

You say you want to meet someone in the wild - summer is the perfect time for that!

Summertime in Chicago has a palpable energy in the air - people are out and about, stacking their social calendars, and saying yes to spontaneous adventures.

This is prime time for getting out of your apartment and making IRL connections.

Join us for an evening where Chicago’s single women come together in community to feel empowered on the dating journey.


Led by Dating Coach Lauren Fondriest, this gathering will get you excited for summer dating:

  • Bring back the fun and magic of meeting people in the wild
  • Learn how to make connections and ask for numbers anywhere you go
  • Make a plan to weave connection opportunities into your busy summer schedule
  • Create openings to meet people while you’re traveling
  • Crowdsource ideas for the best summer events to meet men


This event will include:

  • Discussion and activities led by Dating Coach Lauren Fondriest
  • Q&A and group discussion to create your own summer dating strategy
  • Connection opportunities with other women who are single and/or dating
  • Light bites and drinks will be served

We’ll gather at Fabrik Chicago, in River North.

Learn about Lauren Fondriest, Women’s Dating Coach

Lauren Fondriest is a certified coach with years of experience coaching executives and teams at EY and Fortune 500 companies.

After experiencing years of dating disappointment herself, she applied her own coaching tools to change how she showed up in love - and it worked.

Now in a joyful, aligned marriage, Lauren supports other ambitious women in doing the same.

As a Women’s Dating Coach, Lauren’s coaching style is strategic, affirming, and purpose-driven: she helps women date like they mean it.


Lauren’s Event Philosophy

I’m cultivating a community where women stop waiting to be chosen and start choosing with purpose. Think: dating pep talks, confidence boosts and support from like-minded women on your journey to finding love.
