Chicago Ideas Week (CIW) is about the sharing of ideas, inspiring
action, and igniting change to positively impact our world. People who
come to CIW are artists, engineers, technologists, inventors,
scientists, musicians, economists, explorers—and, well…just innately
passionate.
For one week each October, CIW brings together some of the world's
most outstanding speakers to present their ideas and inspire the
innovations of tomorrow at 80+ sessions across the city of Chicago. CIW
aims to be the platform for sharing big ideas and making big things
happen.
