Who attends?You'll meet women (and men) at all different stages of their career in the cannabis industry. Many will be in the research phase, just learning more about opportunities, while still working day jobs. Some are looking for jobs with existing organizations. Others are starting up their own cannabis venture or ancillary business. Depending on the status of legalization in your state, you'll also meet cannabis business owners & investors who are well on their way.
Watch the video to see for yourself.
Why should I attend?Personal connections are the key to professional success. Through the wide variety of events offered to members of Women Grow, trustworthy business relationships sprout from the face-to-face interactions of our members.
Together we have more power. As the cannabis industry grows on a national and global scale, women have the opportunity to build a new American industry from inception and redefine the workplace to create environments in which we can flourish and define our own destiny, and cultivate the next generation of industry leaders.

Are there public transportation options?You can also call 312.836.7000 or visit www.transitchicago.com for further public transit travel information.
Can I pay at the door?Paying in advance helps speed up our check-in process and makes sure you receive all event announcements. If you are unable to pay in advance, please bring cash AND a card. We'll take whichever payment method we're able to at that venue.
Are tickets refundable or transferrable? You may send a friend to attend in your place. Tickets are not refundable.

Are events on different days other than the first Thursday of the month?Women Grow networking events are on the first Thursday of each month (except for holiday weeks). Social events can be planned at other times. Women Grow's national events are held a few times a year. Make sure you are on the Women Grow mailing list to receive invitations.
Why do you charge for events?Women Grow is funded by event proceeds and sponsors. We charge for our events so that Women Grow is a self-sustaining organization. Think of your event payment every month as your monthly dues for Women Grow, if you cannot attend a particular month, then you do not pay your dues. If you are unable to afford an event, please contact the organizer to ask about limited volunteer opportunities.
