Calling all mad scientists!!

Celebrate Halloween with other fellow ghouls and goblins of the Chicago tech community. You won't want to miss this monster-mash-up of networking, food, drinks, eerie entertainment, and spooky activities.

Kick off the evening with a Trunk or Treat in mHUB's parking lot, featuring frights for the whole family. Then, those 21+ may enter if they dare for a DJ set + creepy cocktails throughout the haunted facility.

Expect:

🍬 Festive food & fall cocktails
🎭 Costume contest and raffle with prizes (go creepy, go nerdy, go both!)
🔮 Chill zones and haunted installations
💀 Music, dancing, and monstrous mingling

Costumes encouraged. Creativity rewarded. Ghosting... unacceptable.
