OPEN Chicago serves as a platform for Americans of Pakistani origin and diaspora communities across the Midwest. We serve a very large geography and our members come from various parts of the Midwest and from all different professions.
We are a group of entrepreneurs that share successes and failures with one another with a mission to help everyone succeed in their businesses and their careers. It is truly an organization that grows on the success of its members. We are very proud of what our members have collectively achieved and how much they contribute to our communities locally.

You will get the opportunity to meet like-minded individuals, give back to your community, and see what your community can do for you. I hope to see many of you at our events that we have planned throughout the year.
We plan to have an annual conference, mentorship events, fireside chats, and many social networking events. We will also be collaborating with many other local organization to host joint events as well as work with our local consulate to support their events. In addition, Charter Members and their families will have an opportunity to attend the OPEN Global Conference which is held annually.
