The future of a city isn’t written by policy alone. It’s told through the stories we project, the talent we keep, the companies we attract, and the values we activate.
At a time when every city in America is vying for the same attention — the same talent, conventions, headquarters, and investments — Chicago has something no one else does: our unmatched civic spirit, our global infrastructure, and our cultural gravity.
Soul of Chicago is more than a fireside panel discussion. It’s a rallying call to leaders across sectors to co-create the Chicago of tomorrow — one that competes globally, inspires locally, and thrives inclusively.
