Blogwell & SummerMash

This is a few quick shots from the day I spent in Chicago earlier this month attending Blogwell and SummerMash. ICUC has been a sponsor of Blogwell for a while now but this was our first time sponsoring a Mashable event.
Both events turned out to be a success as they were great opportunities to make new business connections and socialize with new and old friends, both events not necessarily in that order.
For Keith Bilous, ICUC President seen speaking under the ICUC slide, and I, it was a quick one day trip. I wasn't even in Chicago 24 hours - but my goodness was it fun.
I love Chicago, I have since the first time I visited years ago. But as I get older my appreciation for the town, its people and its buildings grows. I look forward to getting back there soon, hopefully next time for a little longer.
One obvious highlight for me was going to Hamburger University, this is where the Blogwell conference was held. It's a place I'd always heard about and never thought I'd get a chance to see with my own eyes.
I left with a new appreciation for the McDonald's corporation. Love them or hate them, they're making billions of dollars a year selling hamburgers and fries - you have to respect that.
