I'm curious...
Are you going to TechWeek? Attending, exhibiting? What are you looking forward to about this event? Is there a can't miss aspect I should put on my list?
As a off-and-on reader of Penelope Trunk, I'm interested to hear her speak in person. And of course, there's SPARK Chicago.
I'm re-posting a news release from our website.
We're Ambir Technology, a digital document management company that grew in a basement from $8,000. And we get growing pains.
Now we're getting involved in sponsorship within the entrepreneur community. One of our first initiatives is to support SPARK Chicago, as part of TechWeek.
