As the snow begins to thaw, the sunshine slowly creeps back into our lives, and Chicago innovation continues to bloom, there's another event this winter that will get developers off their couches to see some really cool sh*t: Techstars Night of Tech Show-and-Tell!

But for those not well-versed in 0110011, you'll have to sit this one out as this event is specifically geared towards bringing together developers and coders in Chicago; that is...

if (recipient.fluencies & ['python', 'javascript', 'ruby', 'css', 'java', 'c#', 'other']).size > 0

Last March, Techstars Chicago hosted an evening of 'Show us your BE[ibimage==43918==Small==none==self==ibimage_align-right]ST TECH' that wooed the crowd of developers, engineers, and coders alike. In front of a panel of leading Chicago technologists, the nerds came to play ball! At last year's event we met FishBit that Demo'd the first prototype of their technology that monitors and controls your aquarium’s water composition to help your tank thrive. They've since launched a successful Kickstarter campaign that you can check out here!

And this year Techstars is at it again with another night of BEST TECH on February 5, 2015.  Another solid lineup of panel members has been built out to offer feedback to each of the night's presenters, including:

  • Dylan Richard - VP Engineering Threadless, Dir of Engineering Obama for America, CTO Modest
  • Harper Reed - CTO Obama For America, CTO Threadless, CEO Modest
  • Joe Jablonski - Founder WeGather, Founder Acumence
  • Meredith Laverty - Cofounder Fancy Rabbit Software Co., Social Platform Engineer TripAdvisor
  • Eric Lunt - CTO and Co-Founder BrightTag, CTO and Co-Founder Feedburner

So if you’ve built a mobile app, a neat command line tool, an arduino that flashes an LED, or a website that you've been kicking around, come show it off to the group!

The event is free and can be registered for here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/techstars-open-house-demo-your-best-tech-tickets-15303223353.

Note: This a closed event for kickass developers, coders, engineers, ruby nerds, etc. (Translation: Recruiters, service providers, and non-believers stay home.)
