If you were inside my brain the last 96 hours….it was a playground dreaming up how to play with this incredible community of IRL creators 🫶

It’s because of community spaces like @fabriksocialspaces that allow for us to have places to gather and build intentional community.

*Side note: my most toxic trait is using this meta AI filter I know it morphs but I love it 😭

Meet Chicago’s newest IRL Creators 👏 because we’re done overcomplicating what it takes to get our IRL events live.

Grateful for our space for community at @fabriksocialspaces 🫶

Shoutout to @samdechicago of @letsdofunthingschicago for sharing your insights as a community builder!

Live recap straight from Fabrik Chicago! 🎙️

Just attended the “How to Host IRL Events Creator Lab” hosted by the amazing Umama Kibria.

So many actionable gems dropped today. I’m always eager to learn and build; it’s about showing up as an owner, not a customer. The networking energy in this room is unmatched.

🫱🏽‍🫲🏻 Don’t miss out on the next one! 👇🏼

Chicago’s tech and AI scene is more alive than most people realize. The events are there. The community is there. You just have to know where to look — and that’s the problem.

“You should not have to be in the right group chat to know what is happening in your own city.”

Chicago Curated 🦋 is coming: one free weekly resource so you’re not checking Luma, Partiful, Eventbrite, and three other apps just to stay informed. More than a list — it’s a group chat for real questions, real conversation, and the kind of connection that keeps IRL communities alive when we’re online.

Last week, through tornado warnings, this city still showed up. That’s Chicago.

The people already building this scene: @umamakibria umamakibria @landon20s @onion.dao @developwithjb — and many more in the full article. Link in bio for the whole story, the community leader list, and how to join the group chat. 🔗

“Community isn’t a marketing tool. It begins and ends with real people.”

Prefeences on the chat?
