TechWeek Chicago 2011 Reflections

Posted on August 8, 2011

TechWeek 2011 Chicago Merchandise MartTomorrow I’ll be doing my “BarbWired” report for Chicagonistalive, a live internet show. We’ll be broadcasting online at 2:00pm cst from Willis Tower Skydeck, at 103 stories up [updated location]. TechWeek Chicago is my feature story.

Did you go to TechWeek? Please share your comments or links to your coverage so we can exchange ideas.
