3: Farewell 1871 at the MART 👋

A goodbye to 1871

👋 Farewell 1871

This is not a goodbye, just a see you later.

For those that do not know, 1871 is the largest innovation hub in Chicago and one of the largest in the country.

Since their doors opened at the MART in 2012, 1871 has welcomed thousands of speakers - including former US Presidents - events, startups, but more importantly, a community thriving and promoting economic opportunity across the Chicagoland area.

While 1871 is leaving Merchandise Mart, this is not the end of the organization. More recently at the AI & Web 3 Summit last week, 1871 CEO, Betsy Ziegler announced that there are plans to find a permanent home for programming in late Summer. For now, events will be at different venues.

The next upcoming 1871 event is Scale Up which will be hosted at BMO Tower.
