About – Painless Networking

PAINLESS NETWORKING

Painless is about painlessly meeting and getting to know solid people around our industry.

The Painless Network was formed during a small gathering of marketing folks at a Chicago watering hole.

We were done with “painful” networking events. You know them: bad speakers, lame topics and no chance to create genuine connections!

We set out to provide Painless settings for authentic marketers in and around sports, events and causes to gather, meet and discuss opportunities.

We promote working with, helping and looking out for each other. We mentor. We pay it forward.

Why? To make work as Painless as possible.

Since that original meet-up of a half dozen people, we’ve grown to include thousands of members. We maintain our original Chicago flavor, but now we connect good people nationwide from teams, brands, agencies, media, properties, associations and vendors.
