ITA offers a variety of opportunities to build your network with personal introductions, small groups, and large gatherings. If you are focused on expanding your 'circle of friends', you have come to the right place.
TechBreeze: This bi-monthly social event, held at great locations throughout the city, leaves the networking in your hands. We pick a great location in downtown Chicago, invite everyone to come, and let you enjoy yourselves. Always a popular event, TechBreeze attendees work in a wide variety of tech companies, roles, and locations.
TechCrawl: A new event, launching October 2011, think of this as a mobile TechBreeze. Open to members only, we will visit 3 different tech companies, all physically close to each other to cut down on transportation time. Each location will offer it's own style of food & drink, and provide a great opportunity to find out more about what they do. Great insights into great companies!
CityLIGHTS: The annual CityLIGHTS event is a great way to meet a big group of folks - this is the 600+ people event of the year! We celebrate the local tech industry and recognize some of the great companies who call Chicago home. Held in the Spring, this is the social event of the season for tech advocates.
Golf Tournament: The Annual ITA Golf Tournament brings together members of the technology community for a fun afternoon of golf, networking and philanthropy, increasing the visibility of your company to the tech community. The event is held in July, annually, and offers great opportunities to get to know your fellow techies!
And, of course, the personal introduction. Hey, we all send e-intros, but sometimes you want to meet face-to-face. We can do both. Tell us what you need, what kind of expertise you are looking for, and we will hook you up!
Networking events are a great way to expand your circle of influence - in person!
