5. Techstars Open House: Hack Demo Night, March 24 at 6 p.m.
We're inviting Chicago's tech community to show-and-tell the most interesting problems and projects they've been working on. This is an opportunity to demo something you've built (or are building), discuss the problems you're addressing and how you're attacking them, as well as learn from others doing the same.
6. Panel w/ Jim Jacoby, Brian Burkhart, Shannon Smith and Randy Ellis, March 25 at 6 p.m.
How do you find meaning in your career? Using real life examples from technology/digitally focused business owners, this panel will seek to discover the root cause behind the work and drive to contribute. Exploring everything from relationship building to craftsmanship, our panelists will cover the things that make them tick and the challenges and successes along the way.
7. IoT: More than Just a Buzzword, March 25 at 6 p.m.
For this event, we're talking to several panelists whose companies specialize in interconnected devices, whether they be for businesses, for the home, or wearables, and asking them the hard question: What is the Internet of Things to YOU? We'll also be talking about the future of this phenomenon.
Have a great week Chicago and be sure to check out our events calendar for all the other tech events happening around town.
