Where do we start? There are so many things to do in Chicago that someone could write a book on it. And they have—several. But first things first.
Things to do at the Conference
You may have heard of the “hallway track”—the informal gatherings and discussions that take place between sessions and after hours. These networking opportunity can be extremely valuable to attendees of all kinds: it’s where everyone gets to meet, strike conversations and forge relationships that last well beyond the duration of the conference.
At TEK·X, there are plenty of opportunity to enjoy both the talks and the people, with scheduled evening events on May 19 and 20—and plenty of informal, attendee-organized events throughout the rest of the week.
Taking a Trip on the Town
Of course, this doesn’t mean that you can’t enjoy both the fellowship of your attendees and the many opportunities for fun and relaxation that Chicago has to offer—in which case we will direct you the Chicago Tourism Bureau, where you can find information on anything from restaurants to theatres.
