    Running your own business can be extremely rewarding, but it also comes with challenges — especially when you’re carving your own path. That’s why Chase for Business launched the annual Make Your Move Summit. It’s our biggest business event of the year, where business owners from across industries connect and get inspired by thought leaders, celebrity speakers and fellow entrepreneurs who have walked in their shoes.

    If you missed previous summits in California and Texas, now’s your chance to be a part of the action by registering for the 2025 Make Your Move Summit on September 25–26 in downtown Chicago. Here are three ways this year’s complimentarymake-your-move-summit-myms Make Your Move Summit can help you take your business further.

     

    Next-level networking

    Networking is a big part of the Make Your Move Summit — and according to many past attendees, it’s also a lot of fun. Meet and mingle with other business owners from across the country, including people who work in your industry during industry-specific networking breakfasts. Networking receptions include food, drinks and curated moments to help spark conversation.

    Last year, business owners, industry experts, policy leaders and community partners participated, giving attendees ample opportunities to forge new professional connections that last well beyond the two-day event. There was even a concert by Train and a special Play with Purpose charity golf event, where attendees could participate in exciting activities while meeting new people.

     

    Uplifting keynotes and learning opportunities

    It’s not all about who you know — it’s about what you know, too. The summit’s main-stage sessions are designed to help you solve real business challenges and inspire you to act. Expect a star-studded lineup, with speakers including celebrities such as Mindy Kaling, Vince Vaughn and Sloane Stephens.

    Off the main stage, interactive learning opportunities let you mingle with experts and learn new ways to uplevel your business.

     



    Space to explore

    Between networking events and speaker sessions, you’ll find plenty to discover. For example, the Chase for Business Marketplace is a favorite stop for many attendees, where you can “shop” fun giveaways made by Chase for Business customers while learning about their products and startup stories. Get more small business giveaways at the Chase for Business Vending Machine and then visit the headshot photo booth to refresh your professional image.

    Be sure to stop by the Solutions Center, too, where you can learn about Chase solutions to take your business further, like the Everyday 401(k) by J.P. Morganretirement, Chase for Business credit cards or 1:1 executive coaching from Chase for Business Coaching for Impact™coaching-impact. These engaging information booths will be staffed by Chase representatives who can provide product demos and answer questions.
