Chicago’s best and brightest innovators were cordially invited to the Chicago Innovation Awards Kick-Off Cocktail Reception held at 1871. Entrepreneurs ranging from start-ups to large corporations mingled amongst some of Chicago’s brilliant innovation leaders of today. Attendees were not only treated to drinks and appetizers, but also an insider’s look at all the exciting new events and activities that the Chicago Innovation Awards have planned this year to celebrate, educate, and create action in our region’s innovation community.
