SEPTEMBER 23, 2025

Chicago Women in Trades joined thousands of tradeswomen from across North America for a powerful weekend of connection, learning, and celebration during the Tradeswomen Build Nations conference, September 19-21, 2025.

The weekend kicked off Thursday evening with CWIT’s “Building the Tradeswomen Movement” event at our headquarters, where participants explored the history of women entering the trades. The gathering set the stage for three days of programming that highlighted both the progress made and the work ahead in building equity in construction.
