Wonder Women has been bringing accomplished women together for 20 years, and the Chicago table is part of that. No name tags, no elevator pitches. A real dinner, real conversation, and friendships that last.
What happens at the table
Private dinners in members' homes, cooked by fabulous private chefs. In Chicago, as in every city, the point is the people: honest conversation, real relationships, and the help that follows from knowing each other. It's networking that feels like friendship.
Recent and upcoming Chicago tables have been hosted in Printer's Row, West Loop and South Loop. Exact locations are shared only with confirmed guests.
What members say
Some of the best networking I've experienced lately doesn't feel like networking. It feels like dinner.
Elena Valentine · Chicago
I've been to a dozen of these dinners and connected with well over 100 women in Chicago — housewarmings, a book launch, intros, job referrals, real friends. I've found community in a city where I'm still growing roots.

How Wonder Women is different from other women's networking groups in Chicago
- Small tables, not ballrooms. Each dinner is a curated group around one table, so you actually talk to everyone.
- In homes, not hotels. Dinners are hosted in members' homes with private chefs.
- No name tags, no pitches. You come as yourself, not your title.
- It keeps going after dinner. Members stay in touch, gather for social events, and ask each other for help through VOUCH.
- Invite only. Every guest is reviewed personally, so the room is full of women worth knowing.
More than dinner
Beyond the table, the community gathers for a cake picnic, costume kickball, mahjong, ladies poker, karaoke, spa days, and trips. Members also have VOUCH, a trusted channel to ask the network for an introduction, a hire, or help.
