THAT’S WHAT SHE SAID • NETWORKING. COMEDY. WOMEN TAKING THE MIC. • JANUARY 14, 2026

That’s What She Said – Presented by impowr x Boom Chicago

Your new favorite networking night for women in business – powered by impowr, lit up by Boom Chicago, and fueled by brilliant women. Grab your girlfriends, your business cards and your best laugh because this is networking done OUR way.

We kick off with impowr, the platform for women rewriting the rules in male-dominated industries. This isn’t your average networking event- it’s a space to talk about ambition out loud, swap stories about taking risks, and remind yourself what playing big really looks like. Meet other women like you who are chasing dreams, breaking barriers, and learning to own their power – together!

Then, once the room is buzzing and everyone is fired up, Boom Chicago takes over for a comedy show that gives the stage to women’s voices in an ALL FEMALE CAST who prove that women are funnier, faster, and far more honest. Bold, clever, and totally relatable- expect sharp stand-up, fearless improv, and the kind of jokes that make you say, “oh god, yes, that happened to me.”

It’s empowerment with a punchline. Insight with a side of snark. Inspiration… followed by actual laughter.

What to Expect

• Your welcome drink on the house when you arrive between 7 and 7:30pm!
• Networking, but Make It FUN from 7:30pm-8:30pm
  Meet brilliant women in business and expect mingling activities, challenges, photo opportunities, and help build the show by confessing your work stories to a comedian! Trade stories, business cards, and maybe a few survival tips
  from the male-dominated trenches. Drinks are encouraged.
• Your ALL FEMALE Comedy Show from 8:30pm-9:45pm
  Join the ALL FEMALE cast of comedians at Boom Chicago for tonight only, as they take the mic for an unapologetically funny set that celebrates, skewers, and spotlights women’s stories. From office politics to power moves, they’ll say what everyone’s thinking (but funnier).
• The Afterlaugh from 9:45pm-10:30pm
  Keep the energy going with more laughter, more conversation, and maybe one more cocktail before we call it a night.

Who It’s For:
The ambitious women. The outspoken. The ones who lead, build, and still find time to laugh at the madness of it all.

The Vibe
Business meets banter. Confidence meets comedy.
It’s That’s What She Said — and this time, everyone’s listening.
