WOKE SUMMIT 2024

The Entrepreneurship Conference for the Culture

The #KitchenTableMillionairesEdition

Since 2018, the WOKE Entrepreneurship Summit has been THE event for Chicago’s Black entrepreneur community. As an "entrepreneurship conference for the culture," each year we gather Chicago's top Millennial, Xennial, and seasoned business leaders for a day filled with learning, networking, and culture.

​

Started From the Bottom Now We’re Here

Get ready for an electrifying experience at the offices of mHUB! This year, we are turning the spotlight on "Kitchen Table Millionaires," celebrating the Black founders who have built million-dollar businesses from the ground up, and most starting right from their own homes. These trailblazers have demonstrated that with innovation, resilience, and grit, extraordinary success is within reach.

​

At WOKE 2024, you'll hear inspiring stories of how these entrepreneurs turned their ideas into thriving enterprises. Our speakers will share their journeys, strategies, and insights on leveraging Black culture and entrepreneurial spirit to achieve remarkable milestones.

​

Pitch Please!

Do you have a dope business? Well, we want to hear about it! Three business owners will be chosen to participate in this year’s pitch contest and will have 4 minutes to present their best business pitch to our judges for cash prizes of $5000, $2500 and $1000. Apply here for your chance to shine.

​

Hit the Bricks

At this year’s Coleman sponsored reception we’re breaking out – outside that is! Networking, street food and cocktails will be on deck as we once again listen to the beats of DJ Double Mz. And word on the street is that there just might be a DJ battle between Double Mz and mHUB’s resident DJ on the 1s and 2s! 

​

WOKE 2024 is sure to be lit as usual and as always, suits are not encouraged—but your Chucks are! We look forward to seeing you there!

​

Keeping it Lit!
