A bold new chapter is unfolding for 1871! After more than a decade of fueling innovation from the iconic Merchandise Mart, we’re gearing up for an exciting new era—one that builds on our legacy while embracing the future of Chicago’s tech and startup community. We believe in the power of place and are invigorated by its evolving significance —where innovators, founders, and partners can come together, collaborate, and build. As we look ahead, we remain deeply committed to fostering these connections and ensuring that 1871 continues to be the home for Chicago’s tech and innovation ecosystem. In the coming months, we’ll be celebrating our time at the Mart with several exciting events, including: - International Women’s Day – Next week, we’re gathering 600+ incredible leaders and founders (reviewing the waitlist as space allows https://lnkd.in/eMdXxbQZ) - Emerging Tech Summit in April – Exploring the latest innovations and trends shaping our future (https://lnkd.in/eW4TFeDY) - Ongoing community events – Continuing as planned to bring together our network of founders, investors, and partners (https://lnkd.in/eas54ws9) We’re energized by the unwavering support from our broader community and look forward to sharing more about what’s next! #1871Chicago #TechCommunity #Innovation #Entrepreneurship
