Chicago Traders Group

Meet other traders and industry professionals, share your stories and ideas, and make new networking contacts.

Traders of all markets, as well as those who aspire to trade, are welcome. There are no slides, no formal presentations, and absolutely no sales pitches.

We're piggybacking on a larger gathering, so meet us all the way at the back of the Great Lawn at the Jay Pritzker Pavilion, right next to the sidewalk.

**Schedule (Wednesday, July 8)**
* 5:00 PM: Security gates open for the Great Lawn.
* 5:45 PM / 6:00 PM: Meetup at the very back of the lawn. (Weather permitting!)
* 8:00 PM: Grant Park Music Festival concert begins.

**What to Bring**
Bring your own beverage and food to share. If you have a low portable table or picnic blanket, please bring it!

**Important Security & Entrance Info**
Entrances to the Pavilion are restricted to Randolph St, Monroe St, or the Millennium Garage.

**Pro-tip:** While basic corkscrews are allowed, security will confiscate corkscrews that have the small foil-cutter blades attached. Bring twist-offs or a bladeless corkscrew to be safe!
