Welcome to XPX Chicago
We’re just getting started but look forward to creating a vibrant community of advisors to privately-held businesses in the Chicago area.
XPX Chicago Meetings
Our programs are designed to increase participatory involvement with member round-table and panel discussions. Why should you participate? Many reasons, but for starters:
- Demonstrate what you bring to the table as you share your expertise
- Spot potential partners among the membership as they display their niche knowledge
- Get to know members more deeply
Roll-up your sleeves and exercise your mind alongside your colleagues and friends!

This is what it entails:
Most committee meetings will be conducted by telephone, and that participation will not be too time burdensome; perhaps only an hour or so a month, although some months could be a little more, and others less. There will be 3-5 members per committee, although we are not limiting the size if many wish to participate. Membership is a good way, without too much time expended, to get to know other XPX members better, and to have a role in the leadership of the organization.
