Event Overview

The 2026 Chicago Community Networking & Learning Reception brings together local and regional leaders for an evening of real conversation, real connection, and practical insight. 

We’ll start with a live, interactive learning session focused on what leaders are navigating right now. Expect thoughtful dialogue, shared perspective, and ideas you can bring straight back to your team. 

Afterward, stay for a networking reception designed to make it easy to connect. Meet peers from across the region, strengthen existing relationships, and expand your circle within a community committed to workplace inclusion. 

Hosted with support from WTW, the Chicago Reception reflects a shared commitment to inclusive leadership and thriving workplaces. 

You will:

• Strengthen connections with local and regional leaders. 
• Engage directly with Out & Equal and fellow Partners. 
• Leave with practical takeaways to support inclusive workplace culture.
