2026 Survival Series: JET Generations Nomikai at Lizzie McNeill's

The JETAA Chicago Summer Nomikai returns on Tuesday, June 30th! Join your fellow alumni, from 10+ years returned to the new 2026 Outgoing Class, for an evening of fun in downtown Chicago. Come see old friends, build new relationships and swap stories about your time in Japan or what you hope to do once there. This is a great opportunity for new outgoing JETs and older alumni alike to meet and network. The event will be held at Lizzie McNeill's on their outdoor patio (weather permitting, if not, we will be inside) from 6:30 - 8:30 PM.

Enjoy the wonders of the 飲み放題 (nomihōdai) again or for the first time! Each ticket includes a two-hour party package with soft drinks, draft beer, house wine, and well cocktails. JETAA Chicago will also be providing light appetizers for guests. The cost is $35 per person.

Also, JETAA Chicago is looking for alumni to join our Survival Series events and discuss their experiences with the new JETs in a more casual setting. If you are interested in participating, let us know by completing this form!

Space is limited, so be sure to purchase tickets in advance. This event is for 2026 outgoing JETs and JET alumni only. You must be 21+ to attend.
