Little Council Presents is an event series where we explore what we love most—gathering people together in real life. We use this platform to test and validate new experiential ideas.

 

Our first event concept under this series is Fulfillment Center.

Fulfillment Center is a pop-up phone-free experience and creative installation that reclaims the idea of “fulfillment” from speed, scale, and constant optimization. It explores taking up space to fulfill us as people, instead of our orders for things.

Guests enjoy screens-off and hands-on time with curated activities based around playing, making, reading, writing and listening.

We hosted the first Fulfillment Center on May 1 - 2, 2026 in Chicago’s River North neighborhood as a proof of concept for the experience. We welcomed guests for a Friday evening “opening night” event, and Saturday daytime hours were open to the public. More than 150 guests across demographics from Gen Z and millennials to families with children visited our space.

Our team continues to produce Fulfillment Center in various formats and the concept has been featured in WBEZ, Chicago Tribune and Chicago magazine.
