TECH cocktail Chicago 5: Thank YOU

July 13, 2007

TECH cocktail Chicago 5 TECH cocktail turned one year old this week and to celebrate we hosted our fifth TECH cocktail in Chicago (6th overall). Thank you to the close to 600 guests that came out to TECH cocktail last night at John Barleycorn in Wrigleyville. It was a sea of green as guests all tried to win some great prizes from SingleHop. Eric Olson and I are extremely pleased with the way the local tech scene has come out of the woodwork in Chicago to support TECH cocktail. It has been wonderful getting to know so many people over the past year as we have some fun together connecting to amplify the technology signal in the Windy City.

TECH cocktail sea of green!

Thank you to our sponsors who we could not do this event without. They include SingleHop, LinkedIn, Digital Bootcamp, Saper Law Office, Chicagoland Entrepreneurial Center, MK Capital, Origin Ventures, Chicago Micro, Fave Media, LiquidTalk.

We had demos of a few products which included myAOL (a product I hold dear to my heart), PollEverywhere, My Open Bar, Braintree Financial, Humanized & Fave Media.

Special thanks to Paulette, Laura and the staff at John Barleycorn in Wrigleyville for helping keep this event running smoothly. Most notably, thank YOU, our loyal TECH cocktailers for all your support in helping connect and spotlight the solid tech and entrepreneurial community in Chicago.
