I am willing to host at the MillerCoors office (250 S wacker) right across from union station pretty much anytime this month for a kickoff. We can have a meeting and then sample some product at the onsite pub.
Can't tell for sure, but it looks like a Thursday toward the end of the month could be possible. I like the concept of the hosting location, just wish it wasn't so far south (from my Des Plaines / Rogers Park perspective).
I work at the Glenview Public Library, right off the train station. I might be able to arrange for the use of one of our meeting rooms, if all you are lacking is a location.
The Effective Manager Conference will be happening on Tuesday, July 9, 2013 in the northern suburbs, and Dani has graciously allowed me to invite the Chicago-area locals to join in on the end-of-day Q&A session, then spend some time together over snacks/drinks. Since this has worked well with international conferences, I thought I'd throw it out to Chicagoans.
Anyone interested? Please reply here or message me!
Location: Crowne Plaza Chicago - Northbrook (2875 N Milwaukee Ave, Northbrook, IL 60062)
Time: Meet ~5:00 at the hotel lounge, then join the EMC folks at 5:30 for the Q&A session. If you can't get there so early, come anyway - we'll move back to the lounge/restaurant for food and more conversation ...
If anyone wants to take the train up from Chicago, I'll be driving from the western 'burbs and could pick up 2-3 people from the Metra-Prospect Heights station. (The hotel also has a shuttle.)
Hope to hear from you - we've got a lot of M-T fans in Chicago, and it'd be great to meet more of you in person.
Just wanted to give this a bump, since the original date on this thread is a couple years old. So far we have 6 people who are planning to attend - please let me know, or reply here if you'll be joining us!
Thank you, kindly, for the note. I would love to attend. I work in the Loop and would not make it there until after 1800. I look forward to meeting all of you.
Count me in
I am always up for it

That original post might
That original post might have been me... I'm up for it, if the time and place work out.
I work in Des Plaines, live in Rogers Park - any chance of a meetup somewhere in that direction? Downtown is unlikely to work for me.

Try it and see what happens. I'd like to, but anticipate scheduling problems, no matter when you pick.

Great to meet everyone!
Hi all! I just wanted to say that it was great to meet everyone on Tuesday - Dani, Eric, Kevin, Charlie, and the veritable Smörgåsbord of Chrises.
Dani, thanks once again for letting us non-attendees join, and Stenya, thanks for setting it up. I look forward to seeing everyone again!
