Now that spring is springing, we at Techstars Chicago, want to hear about all the interesting problems and projects that you’ve been working on during all those cold winter nights. Or maybe you are gearing up to attack a cool new problem. Either way the Chicago Tech community continues to grow, and spring is a perfect time to share what you’re working on, or perhaps gain a little inspiration of your own.
On Tuesday March 24th @ 6pm, we are holding a Hack Demo Night @ our office in 1871 (Register over on Eventbrite) and if you are an engineer, developer or hacker, we want you to join us! This is not a pitch event: no powerpoint/keynote allowed. Bring code, software, or hardware to show! Everyone is coming to see interesting tech, that’s it.
Besides hearing from each other, we've recruited some great panelists to share thoughts, including:
- Adrian Holovaty - Co-Creator of Django web framework, EveryBlock, Soundslice
- Brian Luerssen - Managing Director @ Techstars Chicago
- Joe Jablonski - Founder @ WeGather, Founder @ Acumence
- Katy Exline - Co-Leader @ Girl Develop It Chicago, Backend Engineer @ Fooda
- Sean Chou - Tech Entrepreneur and Investor, Former CTO @ Fieldglass
Come impress, them, get feedback on your projects, and hear their stories and advice.
In past events, we've had some great discussions and seen some really exciting demos from passionate developers including:
- Stylie, an open source animation tool.
- Rithmio, gesture recognition for smart devices.
- Fridge Magnets with Friends, massively multiplayer collaborative poetry driven by Angular+Firebase.
- FishBit: monitors and controls your aquarium’s water composition to help your tank thrive. Now on kickstarter.
You can learn more about the last even on BuiltInChicago!
Did we mention there will be free food and drink?
Register now so we know to expect you and be sure to reach out if you are interested in demoing.
Look forward to seeing you there.
