About

Techweek celebrates and enables emerging innovation ecosystems. What began as a small gathering of Chicago's young tech scene has grown into a full-blown tech-fest. Last year, Mayor Emanuel kicked off the conference and we hosted both local heroes and industry heavyweights, such as Jason Fried of 37signals and Travis Kalanick of Uber.
