Events

The Research Park holds over 200 events a year, many of which occur in the summer months stay up-to-date on what is happening in the Research Park, and register for events in advance on the Research Park calendar.

The EnterpriseWorks incubator is the main hub for activities, fostering learning through professional workshops and networking through social events. Community building is  inherent to the Park’s fabric, so Research Park invites community professionals to participate in entrepreneurial workshops, tech-based workshops, our AgTech Innovation Summit, and more. The Research Park community welcomes people of all ages to holiday celebrations, concerts, and monthly summer cookouts. Have an idea for an event or activity? Send it to research-park@illinois.edu.
