ITO Compass in Chicago

[HCHTech]

Who's going? I'm thinking of making up a "Technibble" badge with my username (assuming Bryce lets me use the name & logo!). Nothing fancy, but perhaps informative. I'd be willing to do this for anyone else who is attending if you reply to this thread.

I'll be there. There will be two of us, both TN members.

I see @fabs is coming as a vendor, that makes 3 of us!

No one else going?

I didn't get in before it sold out, and money's been something I'm keeping an eye on more this year.

 

[HCHTech]

This will be my 3rd one - I find these valuable. It's a great chance to get away from the ringing phone, focus on things that will help your business, recharge a bit with some new ideas, and not least of all, who doesn't like telling war stories over a pint or a highball?

 

[Slaters Kustum Machines]

This will be my first.

Anyone have any idea how long the wait list is or have a reminder on cost? I just added myself to the list, just in case.

Not like I'd need a hotel, on a weekend morning it'd probably be about a 30-45 minute drive (though my record of making it downtown for the opening of weekend conferences is poor).

 

[Slaters Kustum Machines]

I'm not sure what the list length is, but I know Mike Smith is out and I seen a post on FB that someone else will not make it. You could try filling out the contact form: https://itocompass.com/contact/

I would love to go, but the travel expense from central Florida is a show-stopper for me.

Understandable. That was the issue for me with the last two events, before the name change.

I'll be there!

 

[skdmaster]

I am going as well.

Should we do a mini-meetup? I'l buy the first round. Since I'm a writer here I can consider it a business expense. I can also check on special badges if you'd like

Hmm ... the desire to attend is getting stronger

If you have a vendor already picked out, I'm happy to let you do it - I'll pay!

+1 for the meetup I don't think the cruise thing is my cup of tea, and I'd like to avoid the "So loud you can't even talk across the table" kind of place they chose last year for the Friday night thing.

Yeah, the cruise wasn't my thing either, but I'm going to go with the crowd.

 

[calldrdave]

Badges will be with me and I arrive on Thursday. Hit me up for your flair!

 

[fencepost]

I actually am going to make it down, someone had to cancel. Not staying at a hotel or doing the cruise, seeing as how I'm about 45 minutes outside Chicago.

 

[resolvetech]

Going. Went last year and it was worth it.
