About us
From its launch in May 2019, Naturally Chicago held dozens of live networking events that brought our growing Good Food and Natural Products community closer together. When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, we pivoted immediately to keep our community connected through a robust schedule of online programming. We’re so pleased that live programming has returned, with opportunities to build new business relationships, make new friends with common interests… and yes, we do have fun!
