An Event Apart Chicago – The Design Conference for people who make websites

http://aneventapart.com/event/chicago-2014?/event/chicago-20131

Just what kind of people are our attendees? A little under half call themselves “designers.” An equal number prefer “developers.” IAs, UX pros, project managers, writer/editors, marketers, and, yes, clients attend as well.
AEA attendees, like other conference attendees, want to improve job skills and make new friends and business connections in an intense and fun environment. But unlike typical conference goers, AEA attendees have that gleam in their eye that comes from a belief that quality matters — that through advocacy and hard work, each of us can make a meaningful difference.
