Chicago ExpressionSession Recap
03.1.07
Those of you that read my previous post about our San Francisco event realize that I had mixed feelings about the event. Chicago on the other hand was much better. I actually got to do a part of the keynote and since it was my hometown I got to meet a bunch of my old friends and colleagues.
