Despite heavy rainfall on June 18, LebNet Chicago's inaugural "Connect and Build" community event was a phenomenal success, bringing together 25 enthusiastic Lebanese professionals for an evening of vibrant connection and conversation!

This kickoff event aimed to introduce LebNet to the growing Chicago community and gather inputs for future events and initiatives. The impressive turnout, especially considering the challenging weather, truly underscored the passion and eagerness of the local Lebanese tech talent to build something great together.

Feedback from both the leadership team and attendees was overwhelmingly positive. "It was perfect! People were very happy!" remarked the leaders of the community, while an attendee enthusiastically shared, "It was a great pleasure to see you tonight at the LebNet event. It was so heartwarming to see all this Lebanese talent in one place and in Chicago! Special thanks goes to LebNet's leadership team for getting this to such a good start."

Our heartfelt thanks go out to every member of the community who braved the rain to join and show their support. Your presence made this launch truly special. We also extend our deepest gratitude to the LebNet Chicago leadership team for their incredible commitment and passion in bringing Lebanese professionals in tech together.

We look forward to many great initiatives and programs as we continue to build and strengthen our vibrant LebNet community in Chicago!
