About this Event
WESOS National Holiday Party
A Very WESOS Holiday: Connection, Celebration & Confidence
If you have ever wished business networking felt more welcoming, genuine, and supportive, this celebration was created for you.
Join women entrepreneurs, business owners, professionals, coaches, and creatives from throughout the Chicago area and across the WESOS Network for an unforgettable afternoon at The Carlisle, 435 East Butterfield Road in Lombard—just 20 miles from downtown Chicago.
You do not need to be a WESOS member to attend. In fact, this is the perfect opportunity to experience what makes our community so different.
At WESOS, networking is about more than exchanging business cards. It is about building authentic relationships with women who want to know you, support you, share resources, make introductions, and help your business grow. We believe in collaboration over competition—and we have created a community of women who refuse to let you fail.
Your ticket includes:
- A delicious buffet luncheon in one of The Carlisle’s elegant ballrooms
- Open networking with women entrepreneurs and professionals
- An inspiring, confidence-building experience with award-winning speaker and certified neuroscience coach Erika Gilchrist
- Opportunities to introduce yourself and share your business
- Recognition of the women who make our community extraordinary
- An after-party social with even more time to connect, laugh, and celebrate
Whether you arrive knowing several women or walk through the doors without knowing anyone, you will be warmly welcomed. Come as you are, bring your business cards, and be open to meeting women who could become clients, collaborators, referral partners—and perhaps even lifelong friends.
This is more than a holiday party. It is a chance to celebrate everything you have accomplished, reconnect with yourself and your business, and discover what is possible when women truly support one another.
Come experience the connection you may not even realize your business has been missing. We cannot wait to welcome you!
This is a women-only event open to WESOS members and non-members. Vendor sponsorship opportunities are available in limited quantities and include one event ticket, an 8-foot vendor table, event recognition, digital signage, social media promotion, and the opportunity to introduce your business.
