Chicago Curated is a group chat that builds community through human connection. See what's happening across platforms, click straight through to events, talk to hosts, show up in real life. A community for those showing up.
If you can't commit to showing up, the second group chat is for you. Chicago Curated Newsletter sends the same events straight to your inbox with less back-and-forth. Check it whenever you have time. No pressure. No commitment.
An AI agent searches Chicago-based events across platforms every Sunday at midnight. It sends everyone in the group chat three picks per platform to explore. Want the full list for the month? ChicagoCurated.com sorts and filters them all. Sunday mornings, a newsletter recaps events, leaders, and more.
In the main group chat, hosts talk about their events. Ask who's going, dig into details, get real conversation about what's happening. Get honest opinions from real people – feedback and engagement are just words until a community turns them into action. Connecting after events matters as much as before – share what happened, tag who was there. Support follows you across platforms.
Prefer email or a slower read? Find it on the Newsletter page, usually through Substack, sent Sunday mornings. Unlike the group chat, this is where I write creatively about events, people, and the community. Depending on my week, you'll get a short poem or a long, honest reflection. Either way, my writing provides perspective.
