Commercial Real Estate after work meet ups in Chicago/US?
I recently relocated to Chicago from Berlin, Germany and am interested to start networking with local industry professionals. Unfortunately I can’t find any low key after work meet ups or similar events. Have checked eventbrite, meetup, etc. but they are all targeting first home buyers. 
Any hints where I might be more successful?
