Heels Hive After 5 at Taco Max Cantina: Chicago Women in Business Networking & Community
On August 21st, women in business gathered at Taco Max Cantina in Lakeview for an evening of connection, conversation, and community. The event, Heels Hive After 5, was more than just networking—it was about building a true sisterhood where women support women, both personally and professionally.
Why This Event Stood Out for Chicago Female Professionals.
Location: Set in the vibrant Lakeview neighborhood of Chicago, this event was made for women leaders balancing life and ambitious growth.
Authentic Dialogue: Guided questions like:
What could you give a TED Talk on?
What is something you are currently struggling with?
Who would be a good referral for you?
These prompts led to powerful stories, shared challenges, and new collaborations—all in a space designed to be welcoming, uplifting, and action-driven.
👠 What made the evening special?
A room full of ambitious, generous, like-minded women
Structured, engaging conversations (no small talk necessary!)
Opportunities to share goals, projects, and ways to support one another
The energy in the room was undeniable. Women left not just with new contacts, but with genuine connections and a deeper sense of community. As one attendee shared, “This isn’t just networking—it’s a hive, a place where women drop each other’s names in rooms of opportunity and cheer each other on.”
