Chicago Ideas Week. 7 Days. 1 Electrified City.
Chicago Ideas Week (CIW) will launch October 10-16, 2011! Created by Groupon Co-founder Brad Keywell, CIW is an annual week-long initiative that will bring together globally recognized visionaries to speak on a variety of critical issues, social topics, and breakthrough concepts in order to foster connectivity for people in and around the Midwest.
The week features 20+ CIWTalks open to the public (ranging in topics from social entrepreneurship to hackers and health), two TEDxMidwest events, three evening CIWMegaTalks, 25+ CIWLabs offering behind the scenes access to institutions across Chicago and a CIWBash..(See our about page for a full list of CIW topics).
Inclusive. Expansive. Innovative. Collaborative. Interactive.
Linking people in new ways through the power of ideas, each CIW event is not only a chance to listen and learn, but also a chance to meet, connect, and collaborate with all types of thinkers and doers in our community.
The best of everything will be part of Chicago Ideas Week. Make sure it includes you.
