Throwback to last year's Future of Commerce Maker Faire, where we got to spotlight one of our own: Elvin and his "Chicago Coloring Book", bringing Englewood's story to life, one page at a time.
Elvin's coloring book takes kids on a journey through Chicago, celebrating the culture, the neighborhoods, and that unmistakable Southside/Westside love, all while making reading and creativity fun for our youngest South Siders.
This is exactly what the Maker Faire is about: giving local creatives and entrepreneurs like Elvin a platform to share their work, build their brand, and connect directly with the community that inspired it.
Support local. Support makers like Elvin. This is the future of commerce- built by us, for us. 🙌🏾
📍 Come meet vendors like Elvin at this year's Future of Commerce Summit 2026
🕔 4 PM – 8 PM | Kennedy King College, U Building

"The future of tech resides in our own backyards."
That belief is exactly why the Next Gen AI Hackathon exists.
Innovation isn't reserved for Silicon Valley. It's happening in Englewood, in classrooms, in neighborhoods, and in the minds of entrepreneurs, students, creators, and community leaders who are ready to solve real challenges with AI.
As Hackathon Coordinator, Natika Washington, Founder & CEO of T.O.B.Y. Agency, is helping lead an experience designed to prove that the next generation of innovators is already here.
If you've got an idea, a problem worth solving, or simply the curiosity to build something meaningful, we want you in the room.
🚀 Join us at the Future of Commerce Summit 2026.
