For the past two years, Elements[Chicago] has hosted conversations around issues that matter. While Elements runs independently from Park, many of our leaders are involved in making Elements happen.
Previous guests of Elements [Chicago] have included David Hodges (formerly of Evanescence), Matt Emerzian (author of Every Monday Matters), Benjamin Gott and Rick DeVos (founders of TheCommon.org), Cathleen Falsani (author), Andrew Marin (The Marin Foundation), Jamie Tworkowski (To Write Love on Her Arms), Gabe Lyons (Q, co-author of unChristian), Hemant Mehta (The Friendly Athiest).
Each Elements gathering is hosted in unique venues around the city… from art galleries to botiques, a bar in Boystown to downtown high rises. The idea is to convene conversations in venues outside of the four church walls and in places where art, culture, and beauty are created.
This month Elements[Chicago] taking it to another level by welcoming the CEOs and founders of some influential companies who are focused on doing well while doing good. As the founders and outspoken advocates of uniquely innovate social entrepreneurial initiatives, these guests will engage us in conversation, answer questions, and give us a glimpse into their journey.
