At Fabrik, we believe social connection shouldn’t be left to chance.
That’s why we’re excited to invite you to our Social Connection Summit – Chicago edition!
After two years of hosting the Summit with our Fabrik NYC community, we’re expanding to our newest community in Chicago’s River North on Wednesday, September 16th.
Join community builders, researchers, founders, and advocates who are working to create a future where connection, belonging, and community are treated as essential parts of a healthy life.
Throughout the evening, you’ll hear from leading voices in social wellness and connect with others who care deeply about building a more connected world.
